The MCF works to foster partnerships between universities in developing countries and universities that model quality education and servant leadership in North America.  These partnerships are mutually beneficial to each university involved, as they exchange people, information and resources and as international friendships are formed.

The MCF currently works with...

Concordia University, Portland, Oregon; and

to provide partnerships to...

The Kazakh-American Free University, Oskemen, Kazakhstan
and

Through these partnerships, the MCF promotes the following programs and initiatives:

Visiting Scholars.  In this program, faculty travel to a partnering university to teach courses, to learn and and to share information.  American faculty often travel to international universities for 2-3 weeks to teach course intensives.  Another example of this is the Visiting International Professor ("VIP") program, where international faculty come to the United States for one month to learn more about teaching methods and leadership in higher education.

Student Exchanges and Scholarships.  In these programs, students study at a partnering university for up to 2 years.  The MCF works with American universities to provide scholarships for top international students who show strong leadership potential for their home university and country.  Opportunities also exist for American students to study abroad for 1 semester or 1 year.

Consulting and Curriculum Development.  In these programs, individuals from American universities assist international universities with program and curriculum development and assistance on American accreditation standards and procedures.
