Situated on the campus of East China Normal University (ECNU), one of the top schools in the country, NYU in Shanghai offers a variety of courses taught by NYU faculty, members of the ECNU faculty, and some of the country's most distinguished professionals. Participants select from NYU courses taught in English, Chinese language courses at all levels from beginner to advanced, ECNU courses taught in English in many different fields, and content courses taught in Chinese for NYU students with advanced Chinese language skills. The curriculum appeals to a broad range of academic interests, focusing not only on East Asian studies but also on undergraduate majors in arts and science, education, and business. NYU's program is unique because it gives you and ECNU students the opportunity to take courses together in order to maximize the cross-cultural experience. As you sit in class, with China's brightest students, you will learn from some of the nation's best academics. Outside of the classroom, internships and community service opportunities are also available to help you advance your understanding and appreciation of local customs.
