Missouri considers South Korean degree program

COLUMBIA, Mo. - COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri may team up with a new university in South Korea that would allow Asian students to earn a degree from the U.S. school.

Missouri hopes to receive a $1 million grant from the South Korean government to develop a degree program in an undetermined field.

The Songdo Global University Campus is already working with the State University of New York at Stony Brook and North Carolina State University on similar ventures.

George Mason University, Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Delaware are also considering South Korean partnerships.
