Talking about the initiative, Chandigarh University (CU) states that on completion of the on-campus program in the fourth year, learners can also apply for a post-study work visa in the US and stay back for up to three years to build a career there.
Chandigarh University recently stated that from now on the students enrolled in the four-year Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) course varsity can transfer to Northern Arizona University for the last two years of the course. The decision is taken by the University after creating a pathway programme after collaborating with an online learning platform. As part of the course, students who meet the academic requirements will be allowed to complete half of their course in US-based varsity.
Talking about the initiative, Chandigarh University (CU) states that on completion of the on-campus program in the fourth year, learners can also apply for a post-study work visa in the US and stay back for up to three years to build a career there.
Commenting in the partnership to offer this opportunity to the students, the online learning platform stated that the initiative will assist students in saving close to Rs 50 lakhs in tuition fees along with the living expenses incurred by learners, who wish to pursue their Bachelor’s from the US, thus offering dual benefits of being cost-effective, with an added advantage of mobility. The opportunity will give the learners under this arrangement a chance to study abroad and explore job opportunities in the US at a cost significantly lesser than what they would have to pay for a fully on-campus foreign course.
Talking about the benefits of the collaboration, Ragh Singh, Program Manager, Strategic Global Initiatives, Center for International Education, Northern Arizona University said, “not only provides the opportunity to pursue higher education from the United States but also allows to complete part of your academic degree from your home country and thus lowering the cost of education in terms of earning a US higher education degree."
