As early as in August, 1985, Dr. Cheng founded the <B>Far Eastern Institutes of Advanced Studies (FEIAS)</B> to practice his vision of integrated East-West education and research. This was based on his article, "<B>Towards Establishing An East-West University System: A Program for the Internationalization of Higher Education in the Greater Pacific</B>", presented at the above mentioned conference and published in both the Proceedings of that Conference and the international educational journal, <B><U>East-West Education</U>, Spring 1988 (9:1) (page 93-98). </P> </B><P>&#9;With an unusual commitment, Dr. Cheng contributed personal funds to lease a headquarters-office in Honolulu, for the operation of the Institutes. The Institutes were formally incorporated, under the laws of the State of Hawaii, on May 8, 1985 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Founding Members of the Institutes are listed as <B>Dr. Chung-ying Cheng, Dr. Everett Kleinjans, and Dr. Ronald Oldenbury. </B>The present name, <B>International East-West University</B>, was officially adopted along the lines of the original 1985 Charter of the Far East Institutes of Advanced Studies on June 6, 1995, and recorded under the Law of the State of Hawaii. The new Charter for <B>International East-West University</B> has been adopted since April 28, 1995.</P> <P>&#9;The Institutes began with a short-term postgraduate program of bilingual (English and Chinese) courses in philosophy, music and management. Since 1985, a total of 250 participants have been successfully trained in various fields ranging from financial management to East-West music. A degree program of Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA), with core courses designed in terms of the East-West synthesis, was developed by the Institutes in 1989, in collaboration with the Graduate School of the China University of Science and Technology, the topmost science and technology university in China, located in Beijing, China. The degree was endorsed, articulated and authorized in the First International Global Systems and Decision Sciences Conference, held during August 1988, in Beijing. The program requirements include a bilingual (Chinese-English) course work of 54 credits and a thesis of no less than 35,000 words written under the direction of a professor. </P> <P>&#9;The program first became operational in 1990 through an agreement of the Institutes with the Graduate School of China University of Science and Technology. Since then, a total of 80 qualified Chinese students have been admitted, after an entrance examination, and given formal education and training in both China and USA. Regular class teachings took place on the Shijingshan Campus of the Gradaute School of China University of Science and Technology in Beijing and the Campus of the Jinan Dianshi University in Jinan, Shandong Province of China, for the next two years. </P> <P>&#9;1n 1993, 77 students graduated from the program and received the EMBA degree from the <B>FEIAS</B>,in collaboration with the Graduate School of China University of Science and Technology in Beijing, with graduation ceremonies held in three cities, Honolulu, Beijing and Jinan. Positive reaction and high evaluation from graduates and their employers prompted, a continuous growth of the program. Also in 1993, <B>FEIAS</B> entered into collaborative agreements with Graduate Schools of six Chinese universities, to jointly educate and train students in the EMBA program. </P> <P>&#9;Among those universities are Zhongshan University in Guangzhou and Liaoning University in Shengyang, East China Normal University in Shanghai and East China Science and Technology University in Shanghai. At the same time the International School of Chinese Management in Taipei, Taiwan, a close affiliate of the <B>FEIAS</B>, has also upgraded its short-term programs to a full-fledged Executive MBA program, with a qualified faculty of over 30 instructors and researchers in various fields of management studies. </P> <P>&#9;The <B>IEWU</B> MBA and EMBA Programs were again articulated, critically reviewed, endorsed and certified in the Second International Conference of Global System and Decision Sciences in Beijing in November 1993. At present we only offer Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) in collaboration with bona-fide Universities and Academies in China which are respectively regulated by the Ministry of Education of the PRC. The program is implemented under strict supervision of both the Chinese institution and IEWU. We do not offer any other degrees.</P> <div align=right><a href ="#top"><b>Back to Top</b></a></div> </font> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <!--####### Accreditation Status table ########--> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tr><!--<td bgcolor="#FF9999" align=center>--> <td class="arial14grey" align=center> <!--<font face="wingdings" size="3" color="#666666"></font>--> <a name="#n5"><b>Non-Accreditation Status</b></a></td></tr> <tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"> <font size="-1"> <P>&#9;As an advanced program educational institution, <B>the IEWU is presently NOT accredited by an accrediting agency or association recognized by the United States Secretary of Education</B>.
