In a significant step towards fostering international academic collaboration, World Citi Colleges (WCC) and Shijiazhuang Medical College (SMC) have once again joined forces. Today, at the SIHM Function Room, they signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) solidifying their commitment to educational enhancement.
Building on their previous commitment sealed through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) last October 31, 2023, the new MOA centers around the "3+1" Associate Degree Upgrade to Bachelor's Degree Program. Students from SMC's 3-year associate degree programs in Nursing, Medical Technology, Radiologic Technology, and Pharmacy can apply to WCC for an additional year of study to obtain a corresponding bachelor's degree.
Xiamen Effie Overseas Education, authorized as the representative of WCC in China, will play a pivotal role by providing advice and services to support this collaboration.
This partnership signifies a consensus on mutual credit recognition, confirming the compatibility of courses between the two institutions. The collaboration strengthens ties and provides students with enhanced academic opportunities, opening new doors for a truly global academic journey.
