- Shanxi Agricultural University
Shanxi Agricultural University (山西农业大学) is a university in Shanxi, China under the authority of the provincial government.
It is located in the county town of Taigu (太谷), a fairly rural area with a population of about 40,000 people. The school was founded in 1907 as the Ming Hsien school by a group of missionaries from Oberlin College, including the financier H.H. Kung, the future husband of Soong Ai-ling, the eldest of the three Song (Soong) sisters.
Primarily an agricultural university (one of the few remaining Chinese agricultural universities situated in a farming area), the school also has departments in the arts, physical education and English language study. The university maintains connections with [http://www.shansi.org Oberlin Shansi] , a non profit organization operating out of Oberlin College, engaging in cross-cultural and education exchange programs. Each year, the university hosts young English teachers who have recently graduated from Oberlin College.
In addition to the Oberlin Shansi program, Shanxi Agricultural University also has established academic relations with universities and research institutions in Germany, Japan, Australia and Britain.
