A group of international students is spending the semester at Keuka College, continuing a long-running partnership aimed at blending academic study with cultural exchange. College officials say 24 students from Vietnam National University–International School arrived this spring to pursue dual degrees in Business Management while living on the Keuka Park campus.
The program allows students to complete coursework both in Hanoi and the United States, combining co-taught classes abroad with a semester immersed alongside American peers. School leaders say the initiative is part of a broader effort to expand global learning opportunities and strengthen international partnerships.
Students in the cohort are enrolled in courses such as Business Law and International Business while also participating in campus life, including student organizations and regional travel. Events like Lunar New Year celebrations and upcoming cultural showcases are designed to build connections between international and domestic students.
The college has also introduced a mentorship component, with U.S.-based students helping guide their peers through the transition to life on campus. Officials say the program continues to grow, with hundreds of Vietnamese students now part of Keuka College’s international network.
