Participants choose between various combinations of Mandarin Chinese language courses and business courses. Students should visit the CIEE website to explore which courses are offered in which session, and will take one course per session. Students must participate in two sessions (3 credits each) but can add a third session if they would like to earn additional credits. CIEE courses are designed to follow U.S. academic culture and standards. Each course is a full semester in content, so the pace is accelerated, and the workload is demanding. To avoid falling behind, students should not plan personal travel away from Shanghai when classes are in session. Classes taught at the CIEE Global Institute are for CIEE students only. Classes are scheduled Monday-Friday, and attendance is strictly enforced for both classes and required co-curricular excursions. The class typically features a combination of traditional lecture, discussion, and co-curricular activities. |
