Semester Program (3 weeks)

Each student will take one class and receive three credit hours. Classes will operate on a seminar style format with all students actively participating in discussions with their professor. Class will be three days in Houston and the rest in Taiwan. Students enrolling in a class will be provided with a syllabus before they leave the United States. Term project, presentation, and peer evaluation must be completed for a student to receive a final grade.

Although each class schedule will ultimately rest with the professor of record, classes will typically run Monday through Friday. Attendance at ALL class sessions for the FULL CLASS PERIOD is expected. Absence in class is not tolerated, and will result in your grade being lowered.
