in the United States, Shenyang Normal University opened up a new college called the College of International Business (CIB, 國際商學院). CIB is responsible for about half of the foreign teaching staff at the university. CIB has the most expensive tuition fees in the whole university. CIB offers two different degree programs. One is the double-degree program through its FHSU partnership where students receive a degree from FHSU, and a degree from Shenyang Normal University. These students take courses from FHSU, delivered at the CIB building through mediating Cooperating Teachers, and they also take courses from the Chinese side of CIB. The other program is the single-degree program where students take courses only from the Chinese side of CIB, and receive one degree, from Shenyang Normal University.
