Notes:

Known for its economic prowess and long history of foreign influence, Shanghai is the country’s financial and industrial capital. The last decade has seen massive development in this metropolis of 18 million people; Those in search of old Shanghai, however, can still find the legacy of its magnificent past. The program is based on the campus of East China Normal University, located on the bank of the Liwa River northwest of the city. Known as the “Garden University” for its beautiful grounds, students have access to campus facilities including a library, playing fields, recreation center, small shops, and restaurants.

Students take two courses in Chinese language at the appropriate level and then two or three electives in East Asian studies (taught in either English or Chinese) . Students live either in homestays, or with Chinese roommates on campus.
