Development of an international MA degree program taught in English at Peking University
While I was director of the Institute of Population Research at Peking University, I took the initiative to establish an international M.A. degree program in population science, with all courses taught in English, enrolling both Chinese and foreign students. This English demographic M.A. degree program was officially launched in 1992 and continues to operate. I applied for and received major financial support from the World Health Organization. I directed and participated in the development of the curriculum, recruited faculty who are able to teach in English, and attracted the interest of graduate students from outside of China including the U.S., Germany and other countries to study at this unique M.A. degree program in China.
