Courses are taught in English by Fudan University in the School of Economics, School of Management, School of Journalism, and Department of Sociology.

Course Opportunities

​The spring program offers course work taught in English with a focus in business, economics, media, journalism, or communications.  If your interests are largely outside of these areas, you are encouraged to explore other UCEAP China program options.

Elementary and Intermediate Chinese language classes are also available. 

 
Use the following resources to learn about courses on EAP:
 
  • EAP Program Search provides information on general areas of study.
  • MyEAP Course Catalog lists courses previously taken by UC students. Additional courses may be available and not all courses may still be offered. Since courses in new programs have not yet been taken for credit, they may not appear in the MyEAP Course Catalog.
​For those with interest in management and economics, the opportunity to watch evolving business policy and practice in Shanghai is amazing.
