XMU ¨C An International University

News Flash! ¡°In September last year, XMU had the great honor of welcoming His Excellency Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Following the great initiative proposed by His Excellency to set up a Malay Studies Program in XMU, XMU stressed its full commitment to this proposal.¡± Common Talk, Xiamen Daily, Nov. 17, 2004

Pioneer in Education for Foreigners¡ªBoth on and off Campus
In this Internet Age, many schools across the globe are offering quality online degrees, but XMU pioneered distance education in 1956¡ªdecades before the rest of the world! Over the past 50 years, XMU has taught over 30,000 overseas correspondence students from 100+ countries and regions.
We also pioneered on-campus education for foreigners in China, and now have over 1,600 resident students, from 50+ countries and regions, studying everything from Minnan Dialect to Acupuncture.

Exchange & Cooperative Programs
XMU has over 100 sister universities and close ties with over 80 higher education institutes in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., New Zealand, Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, France, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, and Israel, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao. Cooperative foreign institutes include South Ko-rea¡¯s Inha Univ., France¡¯s LeHavre Univ., the United States¡¯ Univ. of Rhode Island and Univ. of Washington, Australia¡¯s RMIT (Royal Melbourne Insti-tute of Technology), and Israel¡¯s Haifa Univ.
Over 100 XMU scholars go abroad each year through faculty exchange programs with such institutes as the Univ. of Illinois and Calvin College in the USA, the Univ. of Amsterdam in Holland, Soka Univ. in Japan, Ateneo de Univ. de Manila in the Philippines, and Inha Univ. in Korea.

Our numerous joint programs with foreign institutes include an envi-ronmental program with the Univ. of San Francisco, and an innovative me-dia arts program with the U.K.¡¯s Univ. of Luton. Students complete two years in XMU, one year in Luton, and receive two bachelor degrees, one from each university (and can stay another year in Luton to complete a mas-ters in media arts). XMU is also exploring further projects with Curtin Technology Univ. in Australia, Oxford Brooks Univ., Sussex Univ., and Newcastle Univ. upon Tyon in the U.K., and Saint Mary¡¯s Univ. in Canada.
We are not only sending our students all over the world but bringing the world¡¯s students to XMU with innovative programs.

The World Comes to XMU Since the 1980s XMU has invited over 3000 foreign scholars to teach, lecture, or engage in research. Our foreign experts teach undergrad and grad courses in English, Russian, Japanese cul-ture and language, Japanese history, history of modern and classical foreign literature, literary criticism of American and British literature, Western cul-ture, management, economics, etc.¡ªthe list grows each semester. We¡¯ve even had Michael Dell lecture a couple of times, and granted him the title of Honorary Professor (not bad for a man who never finished college!).

On XMU one often encounters groups of foreign college students and teenagers participating in the numerous cross-cultural activities hosted by our campus. For example:

The Xavier China Experience (XCE) held at XMU each semester of-fers junior high students from the Philippines a six-week crash course in Chinese language and culture. 280 students participated in 2004.

The China Studies Program (CSP), hosted by the Overseas Education College (OEC), is sponsored by the Council for Christian Colleges and Uni-versities in Washington, D.C., and has students from colleges throughout the U.S. (CSP is introduced later in this chapter).

The 4th Cross-Straits University Students¡¯ ¡°South Fujian Culture Study¡± Summer Camp was hosted by XMU in the summer of 2005. Sixty students from eight Taiwanese universities spent nine days studying South Fujian culture through classroom activities and on-site tours to places of his-torical and cultural interest.

Popular Host of International Conferences With our beautiful sea-side campus and mild climate, XMU is a popular venue for conferences. In fact, since 1995 we¡¯ve hosted over 100 key international and regional aca-demic conferences, such as the STATPHYS 19 and ISE 46 conventions.
