Course: Accounting

About the University:

LNNU-MSU College of International Business (CIB) is located in Dalian, a coastal city in northeast China. The city boasts a low cost of living, a mild climate, fresh seafood, and a relaxed atmosphere. The partnership between Missouri State University (USA) and Liaoning Normal University (China) was established in June 2000. LNNU-MSU CIB offers a two-year AA in General Studies and a four-year BS in either General Business or Data Analytics, open to both Chinese and international students.

What sets LNNU-MSU apart is its academic structure: while LNNU provides and maintains facilities, MSU ensures academic standards equivalent to those at its U.S. campus. All classes are taught in English and follow a U.S.-style university schedule, preparing students for study abroad.

The program in Dalian is formally approved by the governing bodies of both universities - the Ministry of Education in the People's Republic of China and the MSU Board of Governors in the United States. Its mission is to foster cultural and educational exchange while strengthening U.S.-China relations.
