Program Description

Hofstra in China Program
May 20-June 18, 2013

The 2011 Hofstra in China Program will establish its base in Shanghai, the most well-known metropolitan city in China, where brilliant neon lights, stylish skyscrapers along with private gardens of the imperial period best project today's Chinese identity: a country both ancient and modern. The program will take place at East China Normal University, which boasts the most beautiful campus in Shanghai. While selectively taking courses in Chinese culture, literature and language, students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural excursions.
