Fudan University is pleased to offer VCU students a summer study abroad opportunity in Shanghai, China. Fudan’s International Summer Session offers coursework in a variety of disciplines to students from around the world, taught in English and Chinese. The diversity of its participants help students achieve multicultural competence and network with peers from across the globe, while studying at one of the oldest and most selective universities in China.

All information about the 2023 summer program can be found here: https://iss.fudan.edu.cn/

NOTE: China's current State Department Travel Advisory is a Level 3, which means students interested in participating on this program would need to petition for an exception to travel with the university's International Travel Advisory Committee.   Petition acceptance is never a guarantee, so students should be pursuing alternative locations for study abroad in the event a petition is not granted.

Course and credit options
Students may enroll in up to 6 credits of coursework in Chinese language, history, culture, and politics.  Please see attached document with all summer course offerings.

Some courses are already pre-approved to transfer to VCU, but others may require that a student submit a course approval request form.
