AFTER passing an oral examination, Judy Wei, executive vice president of Eucon International University, will obtain her doctorate in education from Pensacola Christian College in May of this year.
Her degree will aid in the university’s plan to start master’s and doctorate programs in education in the near future, university president Dr. Christian Wei said.
“We are working on getting our staff and faculty doctoral degrees so that we can move forward to start not only master’s degrees but also doctoral degrees,” he said.
Judy Wei will oversee the curriculum department for publishing bilingual textbooks for Christian schools and homeschools worldwide.
Eucon International University currently offers a bachelor of arts program in Bible, a bachelor of science program in education, a master of arts program in theology, as well as master’s program in business administration.
Dr. Wei said the university intends to offer more programs, such as music, hospitality, healthcare, and Chinese.
After 12 years of working toward the completion of her doctorate in education, Judy Wei successfully defended her dissertation in December.
Born in Taichung, Taiwan, she moved to Saipan in 1998 with her husband, Dr. Christian Wei, to establish the Eucon International School of Saipan and Christian Bible Church.
Eucon International College was established in 2002.
The Weis established a church leaders’ training program three years later. Over the years, it has trained 400 pastors and preachers, and over 1,000 Christian educators and homeschoolers.
Judy Wei graduated from Taichung Nursing School in 1976 and worked at ZhangHua Christian Hospital as a registered nurse.
Together with her husband, she enrolled at Oriental Fundamental Bible College founded by missionaries of the Gospel Fellowship Association.
In 1986, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education, then enrolled at Bob Jones University with her husband and earned a master’s degree in church administration.
The Weis established the Chinese Bible Church in Greenville, and the Chinese Christian Fellowship in Clemson, South Carolina.
They focused on preaching to overseas Chinese scholars, many of whom became church leaders. They also started Bible study groups all over the United States.
