ATU Signs MOU With German University

Arkansas Tech University and Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) University of Applied Sciences in Giessen, Germany, have signed a memorandum of understanding that creates a student exchange agreement between the two institutions.

As a result of the agreement, ATU students will have opportunities to take business administration, business information systems, logistics management, information technology and systems engineering classes taught in English at THM University of Applied Sciences in Giessen.

No prior knowledge of the German language will be required to participate in the classes. Those ATU students wishing to apply for an associated internship program through THM University of Applied Sciences will be required to possess an intermediate understanding of German.
