Sias is one of the first schools in China to offer students American bachelor's degrees in partnership with Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. Students take credit hours of American college courses all taught in English, and they are able to transfer the remaining credit hours from their 200 hours of carefully articulated Chinese courses to earn degrees. About 10% of all Sias students study under the partnership of Fort Hays, theoretically allowing Chinese students to earn an American degree without setting foot in the United States.Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies: Fort Hays Gives Students in China a Foothold to Success Fort Hays State University: Homecoming 2007 Fort Hays State University: FHSU and Sias Background
