Summer in China

Program Description

Cadets will spend approximately 2 ½ weeks in Shanghai, China’s most vibrant center of the new society and economy that has flourished since the opening of the 1980s, but also a city rich in modern historical development. We will stay at a leading university, East China Normal University, where Professors Wilkinson and Sanborn will introduce China’s modern historical, political and economic evolution. We will augment class lectures with guest speakers and visits to numerous historical sites in the city and region. The last ten days or so will feature trips to Nanjing, Xi’an and Beijing. 

Cadet will earn 6 credits upon successful completion of the coursework, 3 credits in International Studies and 3 credits in History.
