University of California Education Abroad Program

MBA Studies, Fudan Univ.

Program Overview

To gain unique perspectives on business within and with China, come study in Fudan University's global MBA program. Sit alongside local and international students as you engage in coursework distinct from, yet complementary to, classes taken in your home UC campus program.

Then get out onto the streets of Shanghai and witness the rapidly changing environment of what many term China's future financial hub with the global business and world markets. You will return enriched and invigorated by what you have learned, yet still connected to those you meet during this term overseas.

Students attend classes with host country students.

Participation in UCEAP is a great value! The cost of studying abroad on UCEAP programs is typically less than that of non-UC study abroad programs. The dollar figures listed in the chart below represent an estimate of: 1) the UCEAP fees for the current year, and 2) the additional amount needed to cover your living expenses in this location.

Keep in mind that on UCEAP you take your financial aid with you. The amount of your financial aid package will take into account the total estimated costs of this experience. One advantage of selecting UCEAP for study abroad is that we facilitate the process by working with your UC Financial Aid Office (FAO), informing them of your UCEAP participation and providing them with your UCEAP budget. Just like your UC Campus billing office, we receive your financial aid and scholarships from your FAO, apply it to cover the UCEAP program fees, and disburse any remaining aid on a set schedule.
