CIEE January Business and Culture Program in Shanghai, China 

There’s no better place to study international business or economics than Shanghai. It’s a commercial giant, financial and cultural hub, and home to one of the largest container ports in the world. Through the January Business and Culture program, you’ll take a business course taught in English and go on excursions to key cultural and historical sites. By the time you return home, you’ll have experienced life, business, and culture in the world’s second-largest economy.

Study in Shanghai and you will:
  • Deepen your knowledge of business, economics, and international markets
  • Gain insight into China’s role in the global marketplace
  • Compare and contrast differences between Chinese and U.S. business practices and culture
