The '''Accord of Romance Governments for University and Solidarity''' ({{lang-bg|Amistat Roman de Govèrns per Universitat e Solidaritat}}, {{lang-cd|Amizade Romana dos Governos para Universidade e Solidariedade}}), usually abbreviated as just '''ARGUS''', is an intergovernmental program operated by the governments of Burgundie, Cartadania, and Yonderre for international students. The program is a union of Romance countries with the goal of reinforcing cultural and linguistic characteristics. At the core of the program is international education. Virtually all international exchange students at the post-secondary level between the four nations are subject to the program which plans lodgings, food plans, language lessons, and curricular oversight for exchange students to varying degrees according to the country of origin and the educational establishment. In addition to state-funding, a portion of the program is privately funded by non-governmental organizations and the education industry. | |||
== Etymology == | |||
The acronym "ARGUS" was selected as the definition is consistent across languages. The preferred English full name, Accord of Romance Governments for University and Solidarity is an imperfect translation, but preserves the acronym and thus gained acceptance. The name is intended to convey both the focus on education (particularly post-secondary) as well as the sense of unity between Romance cultural groups. During the development of the program, creating an acronym that worked in Burgundian and Cartadanian was considered a priority and the final decision occurred somewhat late in development. The acronym is also an allusion to ancient Greco mythology as a term for a watchful guardian. | |||

One of many educational foreign exchange programs in Burgundie, ARGUS is by far the most comprehensive. While most universities in Burgundie have partnered directly with individual universities and programs overseas to provide a plethora of foreign exchange offerings to their students, ARGUS is a wholesale approach, allowing access to all of the participating university programs in Burgundie, Cartadania, and [Yonderre]]. All state-run, and parochial universities have signed into the compact, with most private universities participating as well. As of the end of 2030, only those private institutions known as the ''Old Ivies'', are not participating in the program. The remaining institutions have agreed to accept up to 3% of their total enrollment through ARGUS. Across all participating universities, this amounts to about 2,300 seats in 2-year associate degree programs, 8,000 seats a year in 4-year bachelor degree programs, 1,200 seats in masters programs, 590 seats in doctorate programs, and 22 seats in post-doctoral fellowships. While not yet directly recognized in Cartadania, a number of Burgundian trade associations have opened up their accreditation and certification application pools to Cartadanian workers as part of ARGUS. | One of many educational foreign exchange programs in Burgundie, ARGUS is by far the most comprehensive.

While not an official aspect of the ARGUS platform, it has been observed that immigrants from Cartadania who have participated in ARGUS, seem to maneuver through the path to citizenship in Burgundie with fewer issues. | While not an official aspect of the ARGUS platform, it has been observed that immigrants from Cartadania who have participated in ARGUS, seem to maneuver through the path to citizenship in Burgundie with fewer issues. | ||

While foreign exchange of students in Cartadania is common at all levels (i.e., primary, secondary, and post-secondary), the ARGUS program is a method preferred by many higher education institutions. The public universities of all 33 states, the three territories, and the capital region, as well as some private universities have implemented some form of legislation to allow students from Burgundie and Yonderre to attend their institutions to further develop their knowledge. Each state has a varying amount of seats they allot specifically to ARGUS students, ranging from 4% in the Alahuela, Bicarian Islands, and Providence, to ~1% in Cambria, Milan, and Porta Bianca. A student admitted to a public university under ARGUS is, nonetheless, considered an International student. | While foreign exchange of students in Cartadania is common at all levels (i.e., primary, secondary, and post-secondary), the ARGUS program is a method preferred by many higher education institutions.

Though not at all required and not part of ARGUS' mission, many students choose to seek citizenship, a roughly four year process now shortened to two, or dual citizenship which can be achieved in as little as six months. | Though not at all required and not part of ARGUS' mission, many students choose to seek citizenship, a roughly four year process now shortened to two, or dual citizenship which can be achieved in as little as six months. | ||
