For those that don't know it, Gordon's daughter and my daughter were classmates in China ... we just figured that out a few weeks ago. Small world!

 

 

That is trippy! Indeed a very small world.

 

Gordon, I'd suggest you bring your step-daughter to the US ASAP if her intention is to live in the US. If her intention is to live in China, than a Chinese college degree may be useful, but if her intention is to live in the US, her degree is useless in the US. Hardly any place accepts a Chinese college degree--not even if it's Peking University or XinHau (which is China's version of MIT and Harvard). So it'll be a waste of time.

 

Just a thought. Obviously she's going to do what she wants to do but she needs to know that her degree will most likely be useless in the States.

 

 

There are plenty of people in my office who got bachelor's degrees in China, and were then accepted to graduate school in the US.

 

Ok, that may be true for graduate school but I was more referring to just using the college degree for a job. Not many companies will accept a Chinese college degree as an equivalent to a 4 year bachelors degree from a US school.

 

Depending on what kind of college degree one obtains in China, it may apply towards grad school in the US.

That's generally not an issue, since we don't hire people directly from China, but a measure of their acceptance is the fact that our universities do accept the Chinese degrees. One I have heard several times recently is Wuhan University.

 

Don't underestimate the Chinese educational system.

Well I'm glad to hear that. It seems times are changing. That certainly was not the case just 10 years ago.

 

China also has these 3-year vocation degree at the same schools which offer the 4-year BA/BS degrees, so it makes things a bit confusing. Those 3-year degrees are not very accepted internationally--especially in the US--as the British College degrees which are also all only 3 years.

 

I'm all for Chinese collegiate education being more accepted around the world and especially the US.
