CASD 7296X - Special Topic Course for Graduate Students Syllabus
Note: Students can enroll in 1-2 courses (with only one language course).
All courses are taught by Brooklyn College faculty who are experts in the areas of study.
The courses are subject to sufficient enrollment, approval by Brooklyn College, and faculty availability. Students make their course selections in the Application Form. 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 3 weeks in China, instruction for the courses is delivered in several venues: site visits, lectures & discussions, and online interactions (e.g., portal.cuny.edu or the social media of WeChat). 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, three possible options--
Option 1: Some graduate students decided to take an undergraduate class, as they only wanted to have the experience of studying in China.
Option 2: Some graduate students took an undergraduate class (with additional reading and research assignments), and got approval from their department and advisor to have it count as credit of graduate coursework.
Option 3: Graduate students may register for a graduate-level Special Topic/Independent Study course (e.g., CASD 7296X in communication if the student's department can accept the credit of the speech graduate-level course; or one graduate level special topic/independent study course in the student’s department with approval of his/her department chair or graduate studies director). That graduate-level special topic/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 or graduate advisor, 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.
