Foreign Students
In 2006, SIAS International University began conducting an experimental project involving the addition of foreign students. Since accreditation or transfer of credits was an issue that the school administration was unable to accomplish, many of these students came to Learn Chinese, all the while taking supplemental courses that gave the student an introduction to Chinese cultural subjects like t'ai chi, massage, Chinese traditional medicine, etc.
SIAS offers international (non-Chinese) students the option of earning the American degree, in which the international student attends all-English, or English-Chinese, classes. However, no international student at SIAS has earned the FHSU degree. The bulk of the international student body consist of aspiring Chinese as a second language speakers either enriching their lives, or preparing for the HSK Chinese Proficiency Test.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or students:
“Most of our occupations are low comedy.... We must play our part duly, but as the part of a borrowed character. Of the mask and appearance we must not make a real essence, nor of what is foreign what is our very own.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
—Women’s Liberation Workshop, Students for a Democratic Society, Radical political/social activist organization. “Liberation of Women,” in New Left Notes (July 10, 1967)
