A Sino-US undergraduate programme was launched yesterday by Beijing University of Technology (BUT) and Western International University (WIU) of the United States.

The first of its kind in Beijing, the programme, jointly initiated by CIBT School of Business attached to BUT and WIU, targets adults who have work experience and wish to continue studying at higher learning institutions.

Michael Seiden, president of WIU, said that WIU will introduce its structured curriculum to the programme and will identify the outcome of the project.

Students who successfully complete the two-year programme earn bachelor's degrees from WIU.

The China Education Association for International Exchange, China Adult Education Association and China National Institute for Educational Research are involved in the programme.
