2010 China Summer Program
May 22 - July 24, 2010

(formerly Shanghai Summer Program)

During the summers of 2005-2009, we had run the Shanghai Summer Program successfully for five seasons. Starting in Summer'2010, the Shanghai Summer Program will be replaced by a new China Summer Program (CSP), which will operate sequentially from two locations - Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. By residing in two cities, CSP participants will be able to experience two different regions of China with distinct customs, dialects, and foods. Tianjin is 30 minutes by train from Beijing, thus students will have easy access to the historical sites of Beijing, as well as the 2008 Olympic venues.

CSP is a Georgia Tech faculty-led undergraduate study abroad program, co-sponsored by the Office of International Education and the Georgia Tech - Shanghai Initiative. This program is in partnership with Tianjin University (TJU) and Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU).

CSP is open to students from all U.S. colleges and universities. Non-Georgia Tech students can join the CSP as transient students, earn Georgia Tech credits and then transfer courses back to their home institution. CSP does not charge the regular non-resident tuition; thus out-of-state students can expect to save much by studying on the CSP.

Georgia Tech faculty will teach seven courses in science, engineering, humanities and social science on the program. Non-credit Chinese language and cultural courses will also be offered. Example of such courses include: Beginner Chinese, Advanced Beginner Chinese, Chinese Martial Arts, Chinese Cooking, Tai Chi, and Weiqi (Go Game). The Chinese language courses are free to those who are committed to a perfect attendance record in those courses. See details here.

Please join us for the China Summer Program Information Session on Monday February 8, 2010, 6-7pm, in Instructional Center (IC), Room 209. Pizza and refreshments will be served.
