All students of the May Class of 2019 Antai Global Summer Program (AGSP) successfully completed their studies on June 7. Eighteen international students from 8 countries such as the United States, Canada, Switzerland and Argentina were enrolled in this class, including students from many internationally renowned and even top universities such as Harvard University, University of British Columbia, Tulane University, University of Florida, University of Minnesota and Florida International University. Woojin Lim from Harvard University spoke highly of the program. After graduation, he said: "Participating in Antai Global Summer Program is an extremely important journey on my growth path." Most of the students came to China for the first time. The three-week program enabled international students from all over the world and various universities to understand and learn from each other, and gave them a multi-dimensional understanding of contemporary Chinese culture and economy. As a featured brand event of Antai College of Economics & Management (ACEM), the international influence of Antai Global Summer Program is growing.
Characterized by "Chinese Business Practices" and "Chinese Culture", Antai Global Summer Program is intended to allow students to quickly understand China and Chinese business from multiple perspectives. The program mainly includes four modules: Chinese economics and management courses, Chinese language and culture lectures, exclusive enterprise visits, and Chinese cultural immersion activities and city sightseeing. The students can obtain three credits granted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University after completing the teaching plan and passing the examination.
The program design of this year integrates more new elements. In addition to the interpretation of China's business environment, hot topics such as strategic thinking and innovation, consumer behavior, and an introduction to international trade are added. The visits to Disney, Shanghai Fosun Group, Shanghai Volkswagen and other enterprises are added. In the cultural section, interesting activities such as opera facial painting, Chinese tea art experience, and traditional sachet making have been added, so that students can understand and taste the unique charm of Chinese culture in their own practice. During the field trip, overseas students learned about China's economic and business environment on the spot and experienced the economic growth and rapid development of China today.
As the first flagship summer program of ACEM, taught in English, for overseas students, Antai Global Summer Program (AGSP) is intended to enhance the internationalization level of students of ACEM, increase the international popularity of ACEM, and make unremitting efforts to further expand and deepen cooperation with international universities.
