Sias University
Formerly affiliated with Zhengzhou University, it is now entirely operated by Sias group, a Chinese-based corporation who claims to have incorporated in Los Angeles.[1] Sias was founded in 1998 by Chinese-American businessman and venture capitalist Shawn Chen who had the aim of bringing an American liberal arts styled education to China.Combining Chinese and Western educational philosophies, the participation of foreign faculty members and the use of English-language teaching materials also enhance bilingual communication skills and encourage all Sias students to explore global strategies to solve problems and develop innovative thinking.The Sias campus was designed by Peter Weiss, an associate professor at Auburn University and his partner Charles Martin.About 10% of all Sias students study under the partnership of Fort Hays, theoretically allowing Chinese students to earn an American degree without setting foot in the United States.
