This program is a cooperative program between Tsinghua University and Cornell University.
The important logic behind it is to integrate the best educational resources of China and the US.
What we hope is to cultivate students who are rooted in China and also have international vision.
The core value and the important feature of our program is to integrate the best educational resources of China and the US.
And we have an organic long-term bond mechanism to achieve the success in such integration.
For example, PBC School of Finance, Tsinghua University, which is known as "Whampoa Academy in Financial Community" has 30 years of academic accumulation.
And it has been seven years since it was incorporated into Tsinghua University.
Our advantage is that we boast such solid academic foundation, and rich resources in the community.
Meanwhile, we have close ties with domestic regulatory agencies such as the CBC, CBIRC, and CSRC.
Johnson School of Management of Cornell University has more than 100 years of accumulation in the field of management.
So we have not only 100-year accumulation of management in core theory and discipline, but also some of the most living cases in China.
At the same time, we have connection with the financial circle and regulators.
So the combination, fusion and integration of the two, I think, is the core value of our program.
Therefore, our students can combine the fine points of China and the West.
We are going to cultivate a group of students who are rooted in China and also have a global vision.
Therefore, most of our target students, or the students to be cultivated, are to develop in the Greater China in future.
They fully understand China and master local knowledge, while bestowed with a global vision, and they also have a very deep understanding of the mainstream western capital market and financial market, which are re presented by the US.
So I think this is why our program distinguishes itself from the pursuit of a full-time MBA program at Harvard University, Stanford University or MIT in the US.
