TUNGHAI, TAIWAN PROGRAM

Explore Taiwanese and Chinese cultures while participating in an eight-week, language-intensive program in the city of Taichung. Many students participate in this stand-alone summer program - which can also serve as a preparatory session for them to continue their study abroad either in China or Taiwan during the following school year.

Academics and CourseworkThe program will offer intensive language training in Mandarin Chinese at three different levels, which will be determined based on how many courses the student has taken previously. Tutorial assistance outside the regular classes, field trips and local excursions will be offered as integral part of this program.

LocationStudents enroll at the Tunghai University, which has been a pioneer in higher education in Taiwan since its establishment in 1955. The campus is nestled in the city of Taichung, which is the third largest city in Taiwan and is approximately a two-hour bus ride from the capital city of Taipei. Numerous tourist attractions are nearby, such as such as Lukang township and Sun Moon Lake. The City of Taichung has many traditional teahouses, Buddhist/Taoist temples, night markets and museums. Dakung Scenic Trails offer great hiking in the outskirts of the City
