The Miami University China Semester Program
program suspended until further notice
Please see the China page and/or contact Sarah McNitt if you are interested in studying in China in spring 2009.
The purpose of Miami University's Shanghai-based China Semester Program is to offer each student a challenging opportunity for in-depth study of and direct contact with the culture and people of China. It is hosted at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, but all of the classes are with other students from American partner universities such as Rollins College, College of St Benedict and St John's University.
 Shanghai is known as the "Paris of the East", and is a cultural, economic and educational center of China. There is a bustling night life and diverse architecture. Shanghai Jiao Tong University is very centrally located within Shanghai and is one of the top universities in China.
The curriculum of this program has been developed by Petters EducAsian and its US university partners. Students will be taught by a combination of US-based and Chinese professors. Students are required to study Mandarin on the program, although there is no language prerequisite in order to apply. The Chinese textbooks used on the program are the same series used by Miami's Chinese department, so that students can continue their studies between their home campus and their study abroad program.
There are many opportunities for speakers and cultural activities as well as extensive group travel within China. The group excursions are integrated into the overall educational program so that students will have an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom as they see it first-hand.
