Letter from the Founder & Chairman
SIAS University was founded in 1998 as the first solely American-owned institution of higher learning in China. Our mission is to embrace the future of China by advancing new ideas and enduring knowledge in this densely populated country. At SIAS, we strive to create an academic environment in which students are constantly challenged and inspired to do their best, and to become competent and productive citizens in an ever-changing society. SIAS is not only a place of enlightenment in many subject areas, but also the place where Eastern and Western cultures meet, contributing to an international breeding ground for the search of peace, harmony, and truth. I encourage you to peruse our website and to visit it often. It will take you on a fascinating online journey through the vibrant and diverse university community that is SIAS, “The place Where Great Futures Begin!"
