Shanghai Semester for International Students
Student Retention Solution
Semester Experience
In calendar year 2020, U.S. schools saw a 72 percent decrease in new international student enrollment when compared to calendar year 2019. (ICE SEVP Report)
Retain your Chinese international students who cannot get to campus by taking advantage of CIEE’s in-person college semester experience. Your students learn from accomplished faculty in an American-style classroom with English language courses. Our flexible academic workload allows for up to five courses with the option to add online courses from your institution. Students take our CIEE courses alongside Chinese students from other US institutions.
- Program Dates: September 6 - December 12, 2021
- Program Cost: $13,000 per student
- Institutional Commitment Deadline: May 1
If you have a Chinese cohort of fewer than fifty students, this is the off-the-shelf solution for your institution.
Program Overview
This semester program is a high quality, off-the-shelf solution for institutions with smaller populations of Chinese students and a desire to supplement the online learning experience with in-person courses (or 100% onsite academics). CIEE’s semester program is open to first year students and upper-level students.
If you have an interest in maximizing enrollments for your international students and a preference for an American-style living and learning experience, we encourage you to reach out.
