Partner Universities in Indonesia

As part of the Indonesian Masters Program in Applied Economics, the Andrew Young School is also committed to building the institutional capacity building of the Indonesian home universities. For instance, the Deans of several of the students' home universities in Indonesia visited Georgia State University in February 2002 in order to aid in the development and improvement of their Economics Faculties (Departments). Together with their colleagues at the Andrew Young School, the Deans discussed departmental curriculum issues, met with Georgia State University administrators to learn about budgeting, college planning, admissions, and personnel issues, and observed graduate level courses attended by the Indonesian Masters Students. Discussions were also held regarding possible future exchanges and formal ties between these Indonesian Universities and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies and the introduction of distance learning systems between institutions.
