Kuwait's first private university has its roots in St. Louis.(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

"We wanted to contribute to the development of the country and region, have more freedom to go into creative work and be responsive to the market requirements," said Abdulrahman Al-Muhailan, a former government minister who runs the biggest educational firm in Kuwait and holds an American doctorate degree.

As it turned out, that school had been set up a few years earlier by an Omani who had done his graduate work at the University of Missouri at St. Louis. Because a few professors in the group also had advanced degrees from the University of Missouri's campuses, the group's path was clear.
