Description
CET Taiwan gives you unparalleled flexibility and a study abroad experience that thoughtfully connects you to the local culture and communities. Choose how much Chinese language you want and the rest is up to you—enjoy a diverse selection of English-taught electives on environmental studies and Taiwan area studies. With a location that balances life in a big city with quick getaways to nature and local roommates that help give you insider access to the city, a semester in Taiwan is hard to beat.
Students have the option between choosing an intensive 12-credit Chinese language course and then to select one 3-credit elective (taught in English), or to take the 4-credit non-intensive Chinese language course and four 3-credit elective courses (taught in English). The internship elective is not eligible to transfer credit, and thus is not an option for Yale students.
Two-Part Application Process
Applying to a Year or Term Abroad or a Non-Yale Summer Abroad study abroad program is a two-part process. These are separate application processes with individual deadlines and can be done simultaneously.
- You must apply to your intended program for admission by applying online from the program’s website. Select the Program Website button below to be directed to more information.
- You must apply to Yale Study Abroad for approval to study abroad and the ability to transfer the credit back to your Yale degree. The designated list of programs on our website does not constitute pre-approval or automatic approval from Yale. You must apply to our office by the relevant deadline in order to be approved. Select the Apply to Yale Study Abroad button below to be directed to more information.
Notes
This program is NOT a Light-Fellowship approved program. Students may not apply Light Fellowship Funding to this program.
Internship
The internship course cannot be taken for credit and can only be taken in addition to a full course load, which is not likely an option for this program.
