Course Load:
The Holy Cross in China study abroad program is a one-semester
Chinese language immersion program for students who have completed
at least three semesters, and preferably five semesters, of college-level
Mandarin Chinese.
The curriculum consists of approximately twenty hours
of Chinese language classes each week which focus on the development
of language skills and overall communicative competence.
Independent
Cultural Immersion Project:
An important feature of the Holy Cross in China study abroad
program is an ICIP through which students
explore some aspect of Chinese society, history, economy, or
culture. Students begin planning their project with a Holy Cross
faculty member in the semester before they depart for China
and in some cases may use their field experience as the basis
of a more extensive research project pursued under the direction
of a Holy Cross faculty member upon their return to campus.
Living
Arrangements:
Students live in a dormitory on the campus of the Beijing Institute
of Education. All Holy Cross students participate in the Chinese
Roommate Program which allows them to interact with their Chinese
peers in informal, comfortable settings. Meals may be purchased
in the campus dining hall or at any of the dozens of restaurants
or eateries around the campus. A stipend for meals is included
in the enrollment fees.
