| Abstract | This article analyzes the context, processes, and outcomes of a joint American/Ukrainian university linkage project developed to assist the leading Ukrainian agricultural university in adjusting to the economic and political realities of the post-Soviet period. Educational leaders in Ukraine are looking for specific ways to reform education. From 1994 through 1998, the National Agricultural University of Ukraine (NAUU) and Iowa State University (ISU) administrators and faculty worked together to design and implement a university affiliation or “Linkage Project.” The objectives of the project were to: (1) revise and restructure curricula; (2) develop and acquire educational materials; (3) incorporate new teaching methodologies; and (4) modernize NAUU administrative structures. The project assisted in improving curriculum content at the university level, greater public access to higher education, student choice in selecting courses and majors, service to society on problems of special relevance to citizens, active teaching methods that engage learners and go beyond mere provision of information, and integration of teaching and research within the same institution. The project was supported by the U.S. Information Agency (USIA). |
