UNC Phillips Summer in Shanghai
UNC students take classes with NYU students on their modern campus.
Participants will have options for weekend excursions, such as this one to West Lake in Hangzhou, to supplement classroom learning.
The Phillips Ambassadors Program is thrilled to continue our partnership with NYU Shanghai. Although our program was cancelled for summer 2022 due to NYU’s campus renovation we continue to plan for summer 2023. This new faculty-led program, created in collaboration with UNC Study Abroad, was very successful in its first run in summer 2019.
Overview
What better place to experience the excitement of mainland China than the bustling metropolis of Shanghai?
Join this innovative six-week summer program, led by UNC’s Earl N. Phillips Jr. Distinguished Professor of International Studies, Dr. Michael Tsin, and based at the NYU Shanghai campus in downtown Shanghai! This program will provide a three-credit UNC course examining the history of modern China plus an additional three-credit course chosen from the NYU Shanghai summer course offerings.
