Project Overview:
The project aims to build academic bridges for students from both universities, enhance their academic literacy, cultivate their cross-cultural communication skills and international perspectives. Southern Utah University has specially designed a 12 day humanities and sciences program during the winter vacation to help students deeply experience the academic atmosphere of American universities, experience multiculturalism, and broaden their international horizons. Through this exchange, students will not only enhance their understanding of the world and English communication skills, but also gain comprehensive development in cross-cultural communication and emerging technology applications, shaping leadership qualities with core competitiveness in the digital age.
Project Highlights:
Offset credits: Undergraduate students who successfully complete the project will receive 2 credits of offset general education courses. If students have already earned credits for general education courses, they can offset 2 credits for professional elective courses (subject to the approval of the Academic Affairs Office). Full time non-directed (self-funded) postgraduate students who successfully complete the national (international) program during their degree study period can be credited with 2 credits of the same or similar courses in the training program (subject to the approval of the college of postgraduate).
Academic courses: Students will participate in carefully designed humanities and sciences courses at Southern Utah University, taught by senior professors and industry experts.

The course aims to cultivate students' global perspective and cross-cultural leadership, enabling them to understand and apply humanistic and technological knowledge in diverse environments, and enhance their cross-cultural communication skills.
