Shanghai

Term: Fall, Spring, Summer 

Description: Designed for students interested in international business and economics, this program offers undergraduates the unparalled opportunity to study Chinese language, international business, and economic development in Asia's financial center.

Classes are offered exclusively for Alliance students. Chinese language classes average 6-8 students per class. Area studies and business courses in English typically range from 6-15 students per class.

In the Fall and Spring terms, students receive 15 credits. In the Summer term, students receive 8 credits.

Highlights: Students participate in carefully-designed activities and experiential study trips that provide a first-hand encounter with China's rapidly changing business environment. Students may also engage in an internship.

Classes are based at the International Cultural Exchange School (ICES) of the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. ICES is devoted to the education of foreign students and aims to train students with a background in international economics or management.

All faculty are jointly selected by the Alliance and SUFE to teach the Alliance students in exclusive classes. Business faculty have a PhD and are full-time faculty from SUFE or in some cases from Fudan University. Chinese language courses are taught by full-time SUFE teachers.
