IPB to link up with U.S. universities

BOGOR, West Java: The Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) is considering the establishment of an exchange program with three universities in the United States toward academic excellence.

The three universities are the University of Georgia, Auburn University and Purdue University.

Muhammad Agil, IPB's international program deputy head, said on Sunday the program would include exchange in lecturers and students, and visiting U.S. scholars would be asked to present ideas on how to develop the curriculum at IPB.

Most IPB lecturers graduated from universities in Germany, Japan and Australia, while only a few graduated from American universities. -- Antara
