MINOT (AP) - A university in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is interested in forming an educational partnership with Minot State University.

The president and the dean of the World of Knowledge Management Development Centre recently traveled to MSU to tour the campus and speak with officials in the school's College of Business.

The officials say they are particularly interested in online programs for undergraduate and graduate students offered by MSU.

MSU vice president Gary Rabe says there also appears to be potential for Minot students to enroll in online courses through the Dubai university.
