Nov 2, 2015

For more than 25 years, the reach of graduate education at Framingham State University has been global. The University currently offers satellite programs at 23 locations spread across 12 countries around the globe.

Recently, President Javier Cevallos and Dean of Graduate Studies Yaser Najjar got the opportunity to celebrate commencement with a group of 42 students from two FSU satellite locations in South Korea. The ceremony was held in Suwon for students who had just earned their Master of Education Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language through the University’s C. Louis Cedrone International Education Center.

“Even though they may be on the other side of the world, these students are still a part of the FSU family,” says President Cevallos. “It’s such a pleasure when we get the opportunity to meet with them face to face and congratulate them on their accomplishments.”

“We are a state university, but we care a great deal about our international students and programs,” added Dr. Najjar. “We work hard to ensure they meet the high standards for academic excellence that people have come to expect from Framingham State University.”

In addition to the University’s five sites in South Korea, FSU also hosts satellite programs in Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Saipan, Taiwan, Thailand, West Indies, China and Italy. Master’s degree programs are offered in International Teaching, Educational Leadership, and Teaching English as a Second Language.
