The program offers a flexible and supportive environment in which to experience life at one of Taiwan's most prestigious national universities.
Academic Program
Established in 1993, the CIEE Study Center in Taipei provides students the unique opportunity for intensive Mandarin Chinese language training using traditional characters together with the latest teaching pedagogies. In addition, students take a Chinese Language Practicum organized by CIEE, and either an elective taught in Chinese or taught in English. Academic year students are also eligible to take a directed independent study or organizational internship in the spring term.
Students with near-native proficiency in Mandarin should be aware that their language ability may exceed the most advanced language courses offered on this program. These students should consider the Arts and Sciences program at the CIEE Study Center at National Chengchi University in Taiwan as that program directly enrolls students at the host university. Please see the Taipei, Taiwan Communications, Business, and Political Economy program.
Academic Culture
Students attend morning or afternoon language classes three hours daily, Monday through Friday. The CIEE elective classes take place in 90-minute blocks two afternoons each week.
The University calendar consists of three terms: fall, winter, and spring. Academic year students attend both fall and spring terms, and may choose to attend the winter term at an additional cost. Although extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute to the students' overall experience in Taiwan, attendance in class is paramount. Any extended travel should take place before or after the program or during holidays. Less
I entered the CIEE:ICLP program knowing what I wanted: to be fluent in Mandarin after 9 months. After a couple months, I can see that my goal is within reach.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had several problems the other day and the coordinator sat with me until every single one was solved.
We have great field trips around Taipei and they are always willing to give suggestions. The ambassadors in the program love talking to us and ma... Read more
The people who ran the program were so great! (Christie and Sandy). They helped us make lots of local friends and I felt very at home from the moment I arrived. I had 3 roommates in one room so the living situation wasn't stellar, but I actually found it nice getting to know my roommates. So for me it was great, although I heard other students wanted more privacy. Read more
