Study Abroad Opportunity in Lanzhou, China!
September 12-21, 3 Credits
Information Session: Tuesday, April 28 at 2:00 pm in URBAN 612

This short-term (10 day) study abroad program will emphasize issues of environmental and economic sustainability, community engagement, and the socio-political context of China. The program will focus on the public, non-profit and educational sectors, while taking advantage of PSU's existing academic programs throughout the country.

This three credit course is being offered through the Executive Leadership Institute and the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government, and is open to upper division undergraduates, graduates, and PhD students from the PA, PS, UPA, CH, MERC, MCECS and other PSU departments. The program will be based in Lanzhou, China, though participants are welcome to travel in the region before and after the course.

The program will be led by Professors Douglas Morgan, Ron Tammen and Bruce Gilley who have extensive experience working and traveling in China, and will be hosted on the ground by our Chinese partners at Lanzhou University.

This program will cost each student approximately $1,500, not including
international travel and in-country living expenses. (International
travel is estimated to be between $1,200-1,500) (Scholarships may be
available through PSU to offset program costs).

***Please contact Professor Morgan (morgandf@pdx.edu) or Meghan Neumann (mneumann@pdx.edu) if you have further information or are interested in going. ***
