All courses are taught by Brooklyn College
faculty who are experts in the areas of study.
Students can enroll in 1-2 courses (but no
more than one language course) and make their course selections in the
Application (most courses are for 3 credits, but Chinese courses each are for 4
credits). The courses are subject to sufficient enrollment, approval by
Brooklyn College, and faculty availability.
The final decision about which courses and how many courses can be
offered is made 1-2 weeks after the application deadline or about 2 months
before departure.
E-Permit for CUNY Students outside Brooklyn College:
Students from other CUNY campuses (such as
Baruch, Hunter, City, City Tech, Queens, Lehman, etc) will need to apply for an
e-permit. But you do not apply for e-permit until about one week after
the application deadline when we have by that time decided what courses will be
offered. When applying to our program, you just make your course
selections in the application form.
During the 4 weeks in China, instruction for
the courses is delivered in several venues: site visits, lectures &
discussions, and online interactions (e.g., portal.cuny.edu). To ensure that
students will be able to complete the coursework with quality and have time for
self-exploration and side trips while in China, reading assignments are given a
few weeks before departure and some online work also starts before departure.
Graduate Students:
Graduate students may register for a
graduate-level Independent Study course (e.g., SPEC 7296X in communication, or
one independent study course in the student’s department/program with approval
of his/her department chair). That graduate-level independent study course is
to be linked with one relevant undergraduate course offered during the program,
but the graduate student(s) will be given extra reading assignments and
research work.
The graduate student, when deciding to apply
to this study in China program, should first discuss a research proposal with
the graduate advisor of her/his home department, seek approval from her/his
department chair, and, after being accepted into the program, consult Prof. Lu
(the Program Director) at CUNYinChina@brooklyn.cuny.edu,
so as to develop a research topic related to the student’s area of study. For sample graduate student research papers,
