Spend your Fall term in Shanghai
  
The Queen's Semester in Shanghai program is an exchange opportunity like no other. Consider spending your Fall 2017 term in one of the world's most exhilarating international cities, Shanghai, while studying in English-taught classes at one of China's most prestigious universities: Fudan University. Courses taken in the program are pre-approved for transfer into plans in Film and Media Studies, Geography, Global Development Studies, History, Political Studies, Religious Studies, Sociology, and World Language Studies. Students on the Semester in Shanghai exchange program engage in undergraduate field research in a cross-cultural setting by teaming up with Fudan students to write research papers. Past paper titles include: "Leftover Ladies: Exploring the Dating and Marriage Culture of Graduate Students at Fudan University", "The Effects of Gentrification on Residents in Central Shanghai ", and "China's Unstoppable Labour Regime: An analysis of Foxconn's Working Conditions".
 
This opportunity is for current 2nd and 3rd year students (going out in their 3rd or 4th year). Applications for this program will be released in December and are due to the IPO on Friday, January 20, 2017 at 4:30pm. Students will be applying to study abroad in the Fall 2017 term.
