The University of Minnesota Crookston recently signed a memorandum of understanding with two Mongolian universities including a joint degree program agreement in international business with Global Leadership University (GLU) of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and a partnership with Mongolian University of Life Sciences to explore opportunities in the areas of agriculture and animal science. Chancellor Mary Holz-Clause and Sok Leng Tan, director of global programs, met with the universities and the U.S. Embassy while in Mongolia.
U of M Crookston had connected with GLU the previous summer and welcomed two students from GLU for the fall semester, plus they’re anticipating another student for the spring semester. GLU President Otgonbat Barkhuu will be visiting U of M Crookston in May 2025.
During a visit with President Baasansukh Bardarch of the Mongolian University of Life Sciences, partnerships were explored to consider students in agronomy, animal genetics, and breeding science in a potential 2+2 joint degree program. Chief of International Cooperation and Partnership Sukhtulga Tseremmadmid says the partnership could “assist immensely the cooperation between universities and the youth of Mongolia.”
