What is the program?

The fall UC-Fudan University Joint Program in International Studies is an English-language series of courses that concentrates on the study of the processes, manifestations, and inherent controversies of globalization. UC and Fudan University students take courses together, pursue joint research projects, and engage in critical thinking about globalization and its related social and environmental problems, policy issues, and economic processes. The curriculum consists of upper-division, interdisciplinary, and comparative courses in the social sciences and humanities, globalization in the context of China, and international studies.

Students who wish to study Chinese language may attend the optional Intensive Language Program at East China Normal University that begins in late June. During the regular semester students may choose to continue language instruction at Fudan University.
