China May Term Opportunity
China in Transition fulfills both the Interdisciplinary Course (ID) and the Diversity Across the Curriculum (DAC) requirements in the Wartburg Plan of Essential Education. It is open to third and fourth year students of all majors.
Course Description The course provides students with a basic introduction to Chinese culture and social life through a May term visit to the People's Republic of China. It is designed to acquaint you with issues that faces developing nations like China, and to help you gain a better understanding of the country and the lives of its people. Ultimately, this experience will help you to achieve a deeper appreciation for cultural differences in general, and to better understand the extent to which your own perceptions, values, and beliefs are culturally-rooted.
