If you’ve ever dreamed of going abroad or you just have no idea what to do this summer, the trip of a lifetime is being offered at ETSU for summer school.
ETSU’s University Honor’s College is offering 30 days in China.
The great thing is any student can apply. You do not have to be part of the Honor’s College to enroll in this course.
It will count for six credit hours for University Honors College. (UHON 4808-002 Study Abroad Experience)
Each student is paired up with a Chinese student who speaks English and the visit is hosted by two ETSU professors, Dr. Henry Antkiewicz from the Department of History and Dr. Weixing Chen from the Department of Political Science.
“We want to give students the experience of a lifetime,” Antkiewicz said.
Students will take classes and learn about Chinese culture, cooking, calligraphy and more.
From June 5 to July 7 students and faculty will embark on a trip to five cities in China, starting with Beijing where you will see the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City of the Emperor’s.
Next stop is Xi’an where the first Emperor’s Tomb and the Terra Cotta Warriors are located.
Then on to Shanghai’s emerging financial district.
Next is the city of Suzhou, where you will see the Old City and Chinese Gentry Gardens. Last on the trip is Hangzhou to see the Silk Emporium. These are just a few of the highlighted sights to see on this trip.
The cost of this trip will be $2,650 with the first payment of $1,300 due on March 1.
This also includes a non-refundable deposit of $300. The final payment of $1,350 is due March 31.
This covers round-trip airfare, travel and transportation in China, hotel, food and entry fees to see the sights.
Students will have to provide payment for passport and travel to and from the point of departure in the United States and any travel insurance.
