Earn a Full Graduate School Fellowship and Spend a Year in China
The Robbins College of Business and Entrepreneurship at Fort Hays State University offers a highly attractive and competitive fellowship for qualified MBA applicants who wish to earn a Master of Business Administration while participating as a graduate teaching assistant in the international program in China. This fellowship allows graduate students to spend a year on the Fort Hays State University Campus in preparation for China-- working part-time as a graduate student and taking a full-time MBA course-load. Then students spend a year working under the direction of a Fort Hays State University Instructor of Record assisting with American business courses on-site at a Chinese institution.
MBAPrograms.org has featured the FHSU MBA program as one of ten for studying abroad in China.
