This contribution makes Tan the university&#8217;s primary shareholder, and will be used to develop CalUniversity&#8217;s presence internationally as well as to provide affordable education worldwide. <\/p>\n<p> CalUniversity&#8217;s business, healthcare and information technology programs will now be available to students in China, India and the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) countries, and will provide attendees with the ability to earn a degree for an affordable tuition. Dr. Finian Tan&#8217;s investment came as the result of the promising future he sees in CalUniversity and a strong belief in the career advancement it can bring to countries like China. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Just as I saw a great future for Baidu.com, I see the same potential for success at CalUniversity,&#8221; said Baidu.com Investor Dr. Finian Tan. &#8220;There are a lot of opportunities in Asia and abroad, with education topping the list. With this investment I hope to make degree attainment a possibility for people of all ages and classes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to have Dr. Finian Tan on board to help CalUniversity reach its goals of providing affordable education in countries all over the world,&#8221; said CEO and Chairman of CalUniversity Dr. Shaan Kumar. &#8220;In China it is estimated that only one in four high school graduates has the opportunity to pursue a university level education, mainly due to high costs, and with Dr. Tan&#8217;s help we&#8217;re on our way to changing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> This investment will allow CalUniversity to offer programs for Bachelor&#8217;s, Master&#8217;s and Doctoral degrees through an interactive learning curriculum, flexible degree completion and affordable tuition and fees.
