Global Campus in Shanghai Connecting Students to International Higher Education Because education shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all, we’ve developed a robust catalog of diverse study abroad program options to better meet the needs of today’s universities and their students. Our Global Education Network comprises three well-defined learning environments, each contributing distinct advantages that together offer college students greater depth of choice in study abroad programming and services.

Global Campus

Global Alliance

The Global Partners

Our signature, purpose-built learning environment is designed to engage students directly in the local culture.

This new model of international higher learning reflects academic integration and collaboration with an international institution rooted in academic integrity.

We strategically choose these local institutions of higher learning to provide complementary, culturally immersive programs through direct enrollment with a local and/ or international student body.

Greater Control, Maximum Flexibility The Global Campus model was designed to meet university faculty and advisor needs by establishing greater control of curriculum and educational space abroad. We work with university faculty to design courses that fit your institutional goals, and continually assess our programs via direct feedback from the universities we serve. Our campus locations are selected for ease of access to the local community, both its historic and contemporary culture, and equipped with the technology students require today for academic success. The Global Campus model is characterized by: • Engagement with the local community through academic partnerships, shared programming, and service initiatives

• Curriculum designed around CEA’s “active learning” model to take learning beyond the classroom and into the city

• A focus on creative collaborations with U.S. colleges and universities

• Rigorous external oversight of faculty hiring and curriculum development

• U.S.-style academic calendar or specialized schedules

• Management by highly qualified and locally knowledgeable academic and administrative staff, trained in the best practices in education abroad

• Courses taught in English, as well as in the host language

Shanghai: China’s Gateway to the West Shanghai boasts a long history of trade as China’s leading port town and today is considered a golden land of opportunity for many Chinese in the 21st century. Its young, more affluent population sports a must-have attitude toward anything western, hip and ultra-modern, but the city’s colonial past is not hard to find behind its many skyscrapers, green spaces, park bridges and interlocking canals. Shanghai is the ideal place to observe first-hand China’s future. • Study the southern style of traditional gardening and architecture by visiting the old water towns near Shanghai and cities like Suzou • Visit the modern art galleries adapted from former factory workshops and warehouses on the Moganshan Road • Investigate Shanghai’s Colonial history by visiting the western houses in the former French Concession

School of Record Global Campus courses are designed in conjunction with, approved and transcripted by the University of New Haven, which is accredited by the Commission on the Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE/ NEASC).

Global Campus Highlights Each CEA Global Campus offers close proximity to the significant landmarks and cultural activities students encounter through their study abroad program. • Eight levels of Chinese language courses on both the regular track and accelerated track • Located on the campus of East China Normal University, opening the path for more direct student interaction with their Chinese peers • Newly renovated 4,600-square-foot facility, including four “smart” classrooms student computer lab, student lounge, resource center, office space for faculty and WiFi throughout • Located at the center of the ECNU campus, within a 5-minute walk of the student dormitory and the back gate, accessing a street with vendors and restaurants; about 10 minutes from beautiful Changfeng Park • Global Partnership with Shanghai Normal University

Active Learning Close-Up Students in the Shanghai: Imperialism, Revolution and Modernity course can study Shanghai as a microcosm of China. The city exemplifies the social consequences of change, embodied most recently by the emergence of a new entrepreneurial elite, the small but growing middle class, and the large “floating population” of rural migrants illegally residing in the city. Students visit significant locations around the city, including the Bund and the foreign concessions, the site of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party and the Pudong economic zone. The exploration, on-site discussion and analysis, led by specialists in the history of Shanghai, provide context for students’ understanding of evolving urban spaces.
