Dec 31, 2015

“I think there are more similarities than differences” between Chinese and American attitudes toward education, said NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., to a reporter from China’s Wealth Management magazine during an interview in Shanghai. “In both the United States and China, the family is a very important factor for the growth of children. I really appreciate the value Chinese parents place on education.” In a report of their wide-ranging discussion, President Guiliano shares insights about American and Chinese educational values; the importance for Chinese students of learning English and American culture, when possible; and the need for constant innovation and cooperation.

The article mentions an NYIT alumni dinner held in Shanghai, as well as the opening of a Career Services and Alumni Relations office there, which now serves all alumni based in China. In addition, the report mentions a recent survey showing that among U.S. M.B.A. programs, NYIT graduates have the best salary-to-debt ratio, making it the top M.B.A. for return on investment.
