Informational Session: Beijing Summer Program 2008
The Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures offers a second informational session for students interested in learning Chinese in China during summer 2008.
The Department of East Asian Languages & Cultures (EALC) will offer a summer program in Beijing, China during summer 2008. Students will be able to learn Chinese in China and earn USC credits toward their language requirement, and the EALC major/minor. In addition to the intensive language learning, there will be field trips each week to various sites around Beijing, including the 2008 Summer Olympics venues.
* USC reserves the right to cancel any program in the case of an emergency beyond its control, or to cancel programs or substitute classes due to low enrollment or unavailability of faculty. Should the program be cancelled, deposits will be refunded to students. If the program is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, the decision to do so will be made by April 2008.
