The MOU focuses on joint educational and research activities; exchange of teaching and research personnel; interchange of ideas and practices, including joint research cooperation and curriculum development; exchange of academic materials and other information, subject to any applicable and/or desired non-disclosure agreements; exchange of students for study and research; ability of students to transfer between universities, pending transcript evaluation; exchange of faculty members for research, lectures, and discussions; collaboration in education, research and community outreach projects; establishment of joint programs, including research and community outreach programs; and any other areas of co-operation to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

“As an American-style university, we are excited to partner with a reputable US-based institution such Savannah State University,” said Prof. Januarius J. Asongu, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMU. “As a younger university, SMU has much to benefit from and contribute to this relationship. It’s really a win-win for both institutions and ultimately our students. Our students are particularly attracted by the possibility of having first-hand experience of an American university through exchange programs and the ability for them to complete their degrees in the United States.”

Both institutions have agreed to make every reasonable effort to encourage direct contact, educational, and research cooperation between their constituents, including students, faculty members, departments, and research centers/institutes, and will endeavor to cooperate in the fields, with which both institutions are concerned.
