Flight Credit Get a Flight Credit worth up to $350 when you apply with code* by May 6, 2024

About the Program

As China’s largest, most modernized city, Shanghai exemplifies globalization on every street corner, in neighborhood pockets, and in the city’s iconic skyline. Access to resources, food security, social mobility, financial futures, global trade, and environmental protection are just a few of the global issues that Shanghai residents face every day. In this program, you'll explore historical, artistic, philosophical, and critical approaches to major topics in global studies, asking questions such as: What influences the terms and outcomes of cultural encounters? How are values and beliefs defined and transformed? What can translation and literature teach us about global studies?

Founded in the mid-1900s, East China Normal University is one of China’s most prestigious educational institutions. Known for a focus on internationalization, ECNU’s 30,000-strong student body hosts more than 3,500 students from around the world, creating a diverse, friendly setting for study abroad students.

When you study abroad in Shanghai, you can choose CEA housing or arrange your own independent housing. CEA housing assignments are based on availability and confirmation date; we make every effort to match your housing requests, but we can’t guarantee housing preferences.

Program Structure

You'll enroll in 1 Chinese language course at an appropriate level, 1-3 core courses, and 1-3 elective courses at the CEA Shanghai Center. You'll also have the option to enroll in 0-3 elective courses at our partner, East China Normal University (ECNU). Language courses meet for 75 contact hours/5 credits; core courses and electives meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits.

You may earn 14-17 credits (up to 255 contact hours). Classes typically meet Monday-Thursday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled on Fridays.

Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses and take a language level placement exam. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for China. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
