Off-Campus Course in China and Taiwan
In the "Off-Campus to China and Taiwan" course students improve their Mandarin Chinese speaking, writing, and comprehension through an immersive program. In Beijing, students stay in a local school’s dorms during the week and spend time with a host family on the weekend. In Taiwan, students stay with host families and go to school during the day. Throughout the trip, students are taken to many great places to learn about Chinese history and culture. Students also keep a daily blog to document their experience abroad and complete a project of their choosing about Chinese or Taiwanese culture or history.
