University of Missouri and LPU Signed MoU

In a step further towards its internationalization strategy, Lovely Professional University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with University of Missouri, Columbia. This MoU was signed between the Engineering departments of both the Universities with a vision of providing the students the opportunity to study in each other's campus and learn the workings of foreign universities.

Both the universities are prominent names in the field of education in their respective countries and are considered to be pioneers of quality education at international level. Missouri University is considered one of the nation's top-tier institutions of the world and has a reputation of excellence in teaching and research while LPU has earned the stature of largest University in India. The twinning arrangement programmes offered by LPU have a major say in the curriculum and pedagogy of the University and this prompts the foreign universities to come in collaboration with it. Under this MoU, the students taking admission in the under graduate engineering courses of 2011 session shall be eligible to complete half their course at LPU and the other half at Missouri University.

On signing the MoU, Mr. Ashok Mittal, Chancellor of LPU said, "LPU is a global University having tie ups with 20 international universities of global repute. Our twinning arrangement programmes are the strength of our curriculum which allows our students to have enough international exposure. This collaboration with University of Missouri will benefit our students in terms of practical exposure and knowledge enhancement which will further help them in their professional lives. Such students who have global exposure and experience always have an edge over other potential candidates at the time of recruitments. We want all our students to have that edge' and hence we are doing continuous efforts to enter into such new collaborations."

Expressing his trust in LPU, Dr.Jim Thompson, the Dean of University of Missouri said, "We always wanted to have a tie up with an Indian University which works on the similar strategies and patterns as we do. After a stringent survey on Indian universities we found LPU to be the best suited one for our requirements. The University is not only open to spreading quality education at international level but also has its curriculum and pedagogy at par with international universities. This makes it a university well recognized at global level. As we sign this MoU with such a renowned name, I'm pleased that our 6 months efforts to get associated with LPU have well paid off."

The most illustrative factor about MU is that it is ranked at No. 32 with Michigan State University and Virginia Tech in the top 50 public national universities-doctoral list with more than thirty thousand students on rolls. North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) of United Statesaccredits it. NCA itself is one of six regional organizations recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
