Studying in the United States has been a popular goal among Vietnamese students over recent years. Understanding that need, Ohio University has begun to seek international partners in Vietnam.

After careful research, Ohio University has identified UEF as a prominent school with international programs and significant partnerships in the United States, and thus took the initiative to visit and discuss future cooperation with UEF on December 7.

At present, UEF has implemented many international programs such as international semester, international exchange program, articulation program and joint program.
