LSU recently finalized plans to give some graduate students the opportunity to earn dual degrees from LSU and the Institute of Physics in Beijing.
“The program will give students the international experience of dealing with science in two different countries,” said professor and head of the program Ward Plummer. “The idea is that students would start there for a couple years and come here. Or vice versa.”
Plummer said the program’s first student will be arriving soon from China. He said LSU is also trying to work out a partnership with Nanjing University in China as well.
