3 Reasons to Pursue an Undergraduate or Graduate Degree in Asia

By ITS Education Asia

This is an interesting article from The US News looking at reasons why  Americans may wish to consider undertaking a degree in Asia.  As stated in the article: "Combining an undergraduate degree at a reputable U.S. university with an MBA or master's in Asia is a good formula for success in a world that requires cross-cultural fluency."

The three reasons given:

• Quality education - the continent is home to top universities in education hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan as well as strong options in Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan and India.
• Preparation for an international career - Asian university grads will be equipped to work in global settings and as in-demand experts of a continent with growing economies.
• Language-skill development - in addition to academic and potential career benefits, international students can pick up a new language or improve their language skills while studying in Asia.

Having lived in Asia for over 20 years I strongly agree with the article.
