Global This week TCU established strategic ties with one of the most prestigious universities in Europe, Hungary’s Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). The relationship will provide classroom facilities for TCU in Budapest and will expand the variety of courses offered in the coming years including possible post-graduate and research opportunities. Located in the heart of Europe, the relationship with ELTE will provide access not only to their university but also to a number of other universities ELTE has ties with. With this partnership, TCU is well on its way to aligning itself with the university’s mission statement to educate students to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community. This alliance is strong and worthwhile and extends the international reach of the university. Along with TCU’s sister schools in Japan and Mexico, the addition of Hungary will make an axis that is clearly global. Students at TCU will now have even more Study Abroad opportunities available to them. Hungary is another addition to the already long list of countries where students can study, and by broadening the cultures students are exposed to, the university takes education beyond the textbook. Students learn lessons more important than anything taught in a classroom. These are lessons that will shape students and last long after memorized facts have faded. The partnership with ELTE will also help spread TCU’s name across the globe. Building the university’s recognition is a worthwhile endeavor that will increase the value of a TCU diploma. The prestige of the university will only benefit by this alliance. |
