Are you saying our homelands' unis' degrees don't look/aren't the same for all students? How does a degree indicate the students are either foreign or from a "special graduate program"?

Rich PRC Chinese students are now attending overseas universities in greater numbers. Western
universities are accepting them as a financial, not educational, opportunity for the
university. I have seen many of my Chinese college students accepted to many
universities in England, the U.S., Australia, and Canada. These students are unable to
perform to the academic standards that Western universities require of domestic
students. Their writing, listening and spoken English are inadequate to attend lectures
and write academic papers, despite their ability to 'prep' themselves for high IELTS and
BC scores. These incoming Chinese students are accepted to 'special' graduate programs
or 'remedial' undergraduate courses designed by the university to 'nurture' these
students while these 'special' students pay FULL tuition and board.

These students are sent back to China with 'degrees' that are NOT the equivalent of those
given to the domestic university students. Many western universities now offer a one
year 'graduate degree' in International Business specifically for foreign students. It
is not a genuine graduate degree; it should be called a 'certificate' program. For a
rich Chinese student, this time in a foreign university is an excellent socialization
experience, visiting a foreign country for a year or two, but it is not a valuable
educational experience. For a Chinese student whose parents must struggle to pay the
tuition, it is a tragic waste of resources and a shameless business practice on the part
of the university.
