We've partnered with one of China's most prestigious universities, Fudan University, and a leading Mandarin instruction program from the University of Virginia to offer students a unique and comprehensive semester abroad in Shanghai. Founded in 1905, Fudan University is now one of the top universities in the country and a leader in cultivating talent as well. Students take classes of their choice from more than 120 courses taught in English and cover a variety of subjects, from business to liberal arts, as well as study Mandarin. Housed in fully furnished apartments, they stay in a room with an English-speaking local Fudan University student for an even more immersive experience. They enjoy two-weekend field trips to further explore modern China's customs and beliefs.
