    Overview

    If you’re looking for a gap destination to explore your interests or gain internship experience, look no further than Shanghai. This global city boasts a rich local history and culture, and an endless amount of opportunities to explore. Plus, a Chinese language class and local roommate help you make the most of your time in the city. After a gap in Shanghai, you’ll leave feeling ready to take on whatever is next.

    CET Shanghai blends academics, professional growth, and cultural adventure into one experience. You’ll study Chinese at your own level—beginner to advanced—with small classes, passionate instructors, and weekly one-on-one sessions that push your skills beyond the classroom. Practice your Chinese while chatting with locals and dining at weekly Chinese Tables. Then, step into the city’s professional world through a tailored internship that matches your interests. With our robust local network, you have access to hundreds of potential internship opportunities that allow you to build your résumé and learn new skills. Each term, the program offers different extra-curricular activities that allow you to explore Shanghai and Chinese culture. Follow a local expert on a food tour of the historical city center or get to know the Chinese Buddhist culture with a visit to a local temple.
