Shanghai, the largest city in the People's Republic of China, is
located on the Yangtze River in Eastern China. Since market
restrictions were lifted, Shanghai has been a leading force in
China's economic reform, embracing the forces of business and
emerging as an international metropolis with both modern and
traditional Chinese features. Shanghainese enjoy one of the
highest standards of living in China. As one of the nation's
most cultural, commercial, financial, and industrial centers, it's
no surprise that Shanghai is preparing to host the 2010 World Expo.
Students reside in the Pepperdine run facility, modeled after our
European programs, in which all students live together.
Most courses offered in the program are intended to meet
Pepperdine's General Education requirements. Students attend
classes Monday - Thursday. The language of instruction is
English. However, students must enroll in a Chinese language
course for credit. The Fall semester runs from September
through December. The Spring semester runs from January
through April.
