UC Signs Agreement with Mongolian University

At a signing ceremony on Tuesday, October 29, the University of Charleston (UC) and the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) formalized an agreement allowing MUST students to study at the UC Charleston campus. A six-person delegation from MUST and the Mongolian Embassy visited UC to sign the agreement and tour the campus. A reception was held following the signing ceremony.

Through the agreement, Mongolian University students can complete the final year of their MUST degree at UC while earning a UC business certificate, then enroll in and earn a UC Master of Business Administration (MBA) or Master of Science in Business and Data Analytics (MSBDA) degree.

The Mongolian Embassy to the United States encouraged Mongolian Universities to develop international cooperations in higher education, noting that the University of Charleston has robust business, analytics, cybersecurity, leadership, and entrepreneurship programs - all programs of interest to MUST students.

The Mongolian University of Science in Technology was founded in 1959 as part of the National University of Mongolia. In 1982, the university was reorganized into an independent university. MUST has 12 affiliated schools that offer business, engineering, technology, education, social work, and public service and management undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

The University of Charleston recently reached enrollment of 3,000 students across its Charleston campus, Beckley location, and online programs. It has also recently established two-year to four-year degree pathway partnerships with several West Virginia Community & Technical Colleges, including Mountwest, New River, and Southern. Also enrolled in UC programs are hundreds of West Virginia first responders and municipal workers who are earning certificates that can be applied toward educational degrees.
