About
Regardless of your Chinese language skill level, you will gain an in-depth understanding of China while accelerating your Mandarin skills. At CIEE Shanghai, you can take courses in English that explore colonial history, foreign policy, political development, and social issues that have impeded or given rise to modern China. Those with advanced Mandarin proficiency may take a course taught in Chinese. All classes are complemented with CIEE co-curricular activities and excursions beyond the city to enhance classroom learning and provide intercultural understanding.
