"We look forward to working with the Ministry of Education, the government of Kunshan, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University to support education and business development in this most dynamic region of China," Brodhead said.

"The Duke-Kunshan campus will create great learning opportunities for our students, and represents a new model of international educational collaboration."

Future activity on the Duke-Kunshan campus will include programs from Duke's schools of public policy and environment, and its global health institute, among others, as education and research opportunities are developed.

Brodhead, Provost Peter Lange and Fuqua Dean Blair Sheppard also formalized an agreement between Fuqua and Shanghai Jiao Tong's Antai College of Economics and Management.

The schools will partner to train Ph.D. students and seek to develop executive MBA and Master of Management Studies programs based in China.

Brodhead and Sheppard also were featured guests at Shanghai Jiao Tong's annual New Year's Forum, where Sheppard delivered the keynote address on the future of financial services in China.

"The world will increasingly rely on university graduates and faculty members who have been trained in global settings," Sheppard said. "It is our true pleasure to enter into partnerships that will help China address its immediate needs for talent development, while also creating unique opportunities to educate future leaders."

Duke already has a significant and historical connection to China. More than 600 Chinese students are currently enrolled at Duke, and the university operates a number of collaborative programs with Chinese institutions in medicine, global health, law and international development.

The new partnerships extend Duke's already significant global activity that ranges from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore, which opened a state-of-the-art campus last year, to more than 300 affiliations with international institutions for education, research and service programs.
