For Rigoberto Lopez and Adam Rabinowitz, travelling the globe is becoming second nature. Lopez, head of the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ARE) and long an international ambassador for the College and his department, and Assistant Research Professor Rabinowitz recently returned from China, where they met with faculty and administrators to finalize an agreement that brings together ARE and Shandong University’s School of Management in a program leading to an MS degree in applied and resource economics.
The department has agreements are pending with China’s prestigious Renmin University’s School of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development and Capital University of Economics and Business to offer double master’s degrees. Graduates will receive a master’s degree from their own institution and an MS in applied and resource economics from ARE. The College has signed multiple agreements with Chinese universities since 2010 that continue to drive internationalization of the College.
