TCNJ’s “Doing Business in China” Project – Scholarships for Study Abroad!
TCNJ’s Schools of Business and Culture and Society have collaborated on a successful grant application to the US Department of Education’s Business and International Education program to conduct a two-year project titled “Doing Business in China.” Led by Linghui (Lynn) Tang, Associate Professor of International Education and Qin Shao, Professor of History, TCNJ will be developing several new classes in both schools with a China focus, upgrading its campus resources in Chinese Studies, and supporting the expansion of study abroad opportunities in China – stimulating more interest in learning Mandarin Chinese, taking coursework in China in study abroad programs, and completing internships in China.

There is substantial scholarship assistance available this year and next for semester-long study abroad students, but there is also scholarship money available to support students who sign up for a Summer 2011 course titled “Doing Business in China.” Students signing up for INB 250 in Summer 2011 will spend two weeks on campus, preparing for a two-week study tour in China, where students will complete course-related projects, visit a variety of sites related to business and culture in China, and have some time to see important heritage sites in Beijing, Shanghai, and several surrounding cities. Students enrolled in the summer class will have a special opportunity to learn more about how NJ businesses can enter the China market and work together with a company to pursue market research to support expansion into China.
Final itinerary details will be completed shortly, and there will be an information session about the program on Wednesday, November 3, at 10am in the TCNJ Business Building, Room 104.
