In response to Re Asian Americans to Western Colleges (Caring)

The 'degree' for foreign students at many Western universities is awarded from a specific 'department' that was created to accept foreign students that are not academically qualified to attend, say, the general MBA program in the graduate business school. The special 'degree' will be called a 'Masters Degree from the School of International Business' or some other neologism, a school that is populated exclusively by foreign students. Many Western universities send recruiters to China specifically to interview students for these special cash-generating 'graduate' programs. Once the students return to China with their 'graduate degree', few Chinese employers can distinguish between a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Leeds and a Masters in International Marketing from the same university. Western employers are seldom exposed to these bogus degrees because the Chinese students almost never receive visa approval to remain and work in the Western country; the universities' academic reputation remains domestically unsullied.
