Description:
Program Overview: Concordia University, located in Southern California, is offering a Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) degree with concentrations in International Business and International Education alongside a 10/12-month teaching contract in the Peoples Republic of China in Shanghai and Hangzhou.
This unique program offers you the opportunity to:
* Study, research and gain first-hand experience in the political, economic, cultural and social life of contemporary China.
* Explore the strategic opportunities in one of the worlds largest and fastest growing economies.
* Develop meaningful relationships with Chinese business leaders, educators, professionals and community members.
* Influence and impact the lives of a generation of young people in China.
* Acquire practical knowledge of educational and business contexts and practices, providers and clients, products and services, strategies and obstacles.
* Receive a graduate education with a year-long teaching job in China that prepares you for the future of international business and education.
Highlights:
With our program, there is very little waiting to experience life and work in China. After a summer of intensive courses at our Irvine campus, you head overseas and immediately start living, working, and studying in China, perhaps in some of the ways you've always imagined.
What will your life be like in China? The MAIS program will prepare you to teach Chinese children and young adults about the English language, conduct research for your capstone project, complete online courses with professors in Irvine, and negotiate living on your own in a new culture.
You will concentrate in either International Business or International Education, and live in such cities as Shanghai and Hangzhou, which are among China's most important historical, cultural and financial centers.
