Program Description

Accompanied by an Oakland instructor, study at one of China’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning while living in the International Exchange Center and mixing with Chinese students and professors as well as with diplomats, government officials and business executives from the world over.

Students will study Chinese language, culture, history, and contemporary affairs, taught by English-able Chinese faculty and receive Oakland University credits.

The curriculum includes ability-specific language instruction—including for beginners—in Chinese conversation, reading and writing. Lessons on China’s political system, history, foreign policy and international relations, nationalities and religions, economy, culture, and etiquette are also provided. Instruction includes hands-on sessions in Chinese calligraphy and taijiquan (shadow-boxing).

Each student also conducts a research project overseen by the accompanying Oakland instructor. Participants are permitted and expected to attend all the courses, but may select which offerings to take for Oakland credits.
