On behalf of the University of St. Francis, USA with the participation of: Dr. William J. Carroll and Mrs. Elsie Yuan.

 

 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Trung Thanh and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Anh Thu and other department representatives directly provided consultation and answered meaningful questions from parents who are in the process of choosing majors and careers.

In answering a heated question of “As long as you get into a prestigious university, your major wouldn’t matter, right?, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Anh Thu said, “This view is neither right nor wrong. I agree more with the opinion that students should still understand themselves well to choose a major that is most aligned with their interests and strengths. However, I concede that studying at a prestigious university gives you a lot of advantages and competitiveness in the labor market, such as an invisible promise of job prospects for your later. If you enroll in the Business Administration program at UEB with degree awarded by the University of St. Francis, we believe that you will not only study at two leading universities in Economics and Business in Vietnam and the United States, but also be properly educated in one of the most sought-after professions today with many future job opportunities lined up.”

The program continues with questions from parents about educational programs with international standing, on whether this degree is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Trung Thanh, Rector of the University, answered, “All partner universities of UEB are prestigious universities with a long history in the United States. After receiving a diploma from those universities, all students would be supported to receive recognition of diplomas by the Ministry of Education and Training. Parents and students can rest assured that their degree is valid both in the United States and in Vietnam.”

Understanding the concern of parents in choosing majors especially in a foreign program, Dr. William J Carroll shared with the audience an overview of the program and postgraduate options as well as attractive scholarships and career opportunities for UEB-USF students. William J. Carroll also affirmed: “The University of St. Francis is strict in choosing a partner university in Vietnam, and UEB receives their full trust. We hope that his cooperation will create great opportunities for Vietnamese students in learning and building a solid future.”
