Press Release: Pace University Joins Forces with Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance
Shanghai (November 16) – On a tour of Asia in late October, Pace University President Marvin Krislov joined officials from Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance to sign a joint agreement between the two universities.
Both universities will benefit from the agreement with student exchange opportunities, the development of joint academic programs and other educational and cultural exchanges. The partnership was formed this past March when Jonathan H. Hill, DPS, Dean of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace, John Meletiadis, Ed.D., Assistant Dean of the Lubin School of Business at Pace, and Andre Cordon, Director of International Admission at Pace, visited the Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance campus. Starting next fall, students will be able to take accounting and business analytics courses through this partnership.
Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance offers 33 undergraduate programs and a postgraduate program in auditing. In addition, the university offers undergraduate programs in law, literature, science and engineering. The university has 20,000 students enrolled. The university has several scientific research institutions, such as Sci-Tech Finance Institute of Shanghai (International Finance Research Institute), Guo-Gou FTZ Finance Institute, Pudong Institute, Modern Payment and Internet Finance Research Center, Open Economy and Trade Research Center, the China Lixin Risk Management Research Institute, the Lixin Accounting Research Institute and the “One Belt One Road” Accounting Culture Research Center.
“We give students from across the country and around the world the chance to get a quality education in the heart of New York City, or wherever their studies take them,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov. “This partnership with Shanghai Lixin University of Accounting and Finance offers expanded educational opportunities for both their students and ours, and we look forward to finding even more ways to collaborate.”
Pace University’s Vice President for Enrollment Management, Robina Schepp, and President Krislov also met this week with university officials Gu Xiao-Min, Wang Pin-ling, Chen Shuang-hua, Yin Lin-Sen, and Bai Wei.
