USINTEC Dual Master's Degree Programs, present
The USINTEC member universities are developing dual master's degree programs to begin in 2011. Indonesian students will receive a U.S. master’s degree from Ohio State, IU, or UIUC as well as an Indonesian master’s degree from a partner university. The programs will build institutional capacity and address national needs in elementary teacher education and English language teaching.
USINTEC partner institutions have met many times in Indonesia and the U.S. to plan the development of the programs. The have designed a program template, sought and received institutional endorsements to move forward with program development, and discussed the programs with government and other potential funding partners in the U.S. and Indonesia. The programs will provide opportunities for Indonesian and U.S. faculty and graduate students to study and teach in both countries.
