US/Sri Lanka sponsored university education Ceylinco Consolidated and Presidents' Network, an association of Colleges and Universities in the United States will offer a US/Sri Lanka sponsored university education in Colombo beginning in April 2002, a press release stated. While the Presidents' Network has a membership of ninety-one institutions, fifteen institutions have combined to sponsor the academic program at American National College. The model adopted by Ceylinco and PresNet will have individual courses being taught by faculty from various institutions from the US, a common transcript produced by Patten International with all courses transferable to the listed institutions and other US Colleges and Universities. Courses and program available in American National College will include the general studies curriculum available at all US institutions, including the behavioral sciences, mathematics, science, language, art and music. In addition courses in business and information technology will be taught including the courses necessary for various Microsoft certifications, it added. Preparation courses for various placement tests necessary for US institutions will also be available to students at the college. Students desiring a US university degree can begin at home in Colombo and finish in a variety of locations in the US depending on the study major chosen. The cost savings with this approach should exceed 40% for the students and allow the students to stay at home in Sri Lanka for the first two years of study. |
