<p><font face="Arial">Following Temple University, University of Pennsylvania’s College of General Studies (CGS) also signed a dual degree program with National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) today.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">"To encourage more NTNU students to participate in the program, the deadline for applications will be due on March 15 so you still have some time from now on,” said T.C. Chang (張子超), head of the Center of General Education.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Chang made his remarks during the orientation at the International Lounge today. He said that this dual degree program was designed for NTNU sophomores to spend another three years at CGS and will be entitled to a NTNU bachelor’s degree and a master’s from CGS at the same time, while the CGS offers a total of 11 different majors to dual degree program participants.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">According to USNews.com’s 2008 U.S. university ranking, University of Pennsylvania was ranked as the fifth national university within the first tier. An undergraduate international student needs approximately US$19,000 as the tuition fee for a semester, but Chang said, under the dual degree program, NTNU student would enjoy a cheaper tuition fee of 10 percent off.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">"We would like to encourage more students to broaden their mind by studying abroad and would help them earn their degrees as fast as possible,” Chang said.</font></p>
