A Float Honors Fort Hays University

Sias Internation University offers Chinese degrees and American degrees to its students. The American degrees can be obtained by virtue of an arrangement with Fort Hays University. Fort Hays provides professors and classes for those students who wish this type of degree. Fort Hays, originally named Fort Fletcher, was a United States Army fort near Hays, Kansas. Active from 1865 to 1889, it was an important frontier post during the American Indian Wars of the late 19th century. Reopened as a historical park in 1929, it is now operated by the Kansas Historical Society as the Fort Hays State Historic Site.
