"SUNY-Wide Summit on Development of Turkish Dual Degree Program
Released: 4/19/2006
Some 60 high level academic administrators from universities in Turkey and their State University of New York counterparts met on Tuesday, April 18, at SUNY Cortland to discuss the major initiative they are working on together.
This initiative, which seeks to build bridges between the two countries, is initially focused on the Dual Degree Program, which offers scholars a degree from institutions in both Turkey and the U.S. In time, the program may expand to other areas of academic life.
This annual meeting to discuss the Dual Degree Program has alternated between the Turkish Higher Education Council host universities and SUNY campuses since the partnership was formed in 2003.
First hosted in New Paltz, N.Y., then by the Higher Education Council in Ankara, Turkey, this year's gathering on the Cortland campus has been described as a major U.S.-Turkish academic summit meeting. Cortland's role as the meeting host points to the College's growing international outreach within SUNY."
