The HESA program enrolls approximately 12-15 international students per year in the program. We believe that the small size and the diverse background of the class cohorts are conducive to forging positive and powerful relationships among students and faculty, enriching the educational environment, and expanding horizons through international partnerships. Students are also provided with opportunities to do practicum in the functional areas at BNU or in other places to gain the professional experience that enables them to apply theory to practice.
