While the two universities have hosted student exchanges since 2006, they now are exploring a process by which NBU and other Chinese students can enroll in and complete graduate-degree programs offered by UWM. The partners will also investigate developing undergraduate dual-degree agreements that will allow qualified NBU students to study at both universities and have their degrees conferred by both.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to establish a regular UWM instructional presence in Ningbo, China, in partnership with Ningbo University,\u201d said Britz. \u201cBoth universities also are committed to research into technologies that will address the growing global water challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two universities will work together on three areas of freshwater research, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>alternative food sources for intensive aquaculture<\/li>\n<li>nutrient\/carbon cycling in aquatic ecosystems<\/li>\n<li>remediation of contaminated waters using \u2018in-place\u2019 technologies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThe initiatives in freshwater research emphasize the importance of freshwater and the intensive aquaculture industry to both China and the U.S.,\u201d said David Garman, dean of the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences. \u201cThe discussions with NBU\u2019s School of Marine Science have resulted in identification of these key areas for research cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ningbo University, with its School of Marine Science, is in the Zhejiang Province, bordering on the East China Sea in the southern part of the Yangtze Delta. With an undergraduate enrollment of 23,000, compared to 24,600 at UWM, Ningbo University offers mostly undergraduate degrees and partners with other universities to offer doctoral programs.<\/p>\n<p>The UWM School of Freshwater Sciences is the only graduate school in the nation dedicated solely to the study of freshwater. It offers both master\u2019s and doctoral programs integrated across four major areas: freshwater system dynamics; human and ecosystem health; freshwater technology; and freshwater economics, policy and management.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UWM representatives have entered into an agreement with a Chinese university
