First Informatics (Wuhan) College student to Study On-Campus with Salem International University

There are many reasons for the choice of a university for further academic studies. Some go for the accreditation of the university; some go for the established faculty support, while others go for shorter study duration to graduate with a degree. To He Qi *, an Informatics (Wuhan) College student from China, who has gain entry to study on-campus in Salem International University (SIU), all of the above reasons determined her wise selection.

“SIU is an accredited US university by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (NCA) of Colleges and Schools. This accreditation is an official endorsement and recognition to the quality of the university and its study and eventual marketability of my award upon completion,“ said He Qi. “Moreover, 78 percent of the faculty members have doctorate degrees. That gives me academic quality assurance in the knowledge I will receive in my course of study, far beyond just the study of technical subjects but an injection of knowledge applicability from a higher education perspective, “ added He Qi.
