Historical Note

The Michigan State University Taiwan Project (1959) was administered by the Office of International Programs and Studies. The purpose was to assist in the development and strengthening of agricultural education (including instruction, extension, and research) at both National Taiwan University and Taiwan Provincial College of Agriculture. MSU helped the colleges by providing advisors to assist in the development of the Taiwanese curriculum and train agricultural educators. The project ended in 1964.
