पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program challenges the student to understand China and Japan through the rigors of language study and the analytical tools of various academic disciplines. This process demands both broad exposure to different subjects and a focused perspective on a particular feature of the East Asian landscape. Japan and China are related yet distinctive civilizations. Each has its own traditions and patterns of development. These traditions have played an important role in the development of culture around the globe and remain formative influences today. Students interested in this program will be guided by the expectations for liberal learning at Wesleyan and by the program's inter-disciplinary approach.

अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विद्यार्थीहरू प्रवेशको लागि आवश्यकता

Students to be considered for admission are expected to have a strong secondary school preparation in English, social science, science, mathematics, and a foreign language. Students who are studying at foreign schools who have taken national examinations for university admission (GCSEs, ‘A’ levels, Abitur, International Baccalaureate, etc.) are expected to have achieved superior results. All students are required to take the SAT Reasoning Test of the College Board or the ACT. Also those students whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), or alternatively, the academic modules of the International English Language Testing System examination (IELTS) with a score close to 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL test, or a 7 on the IELTS. A high score of 650 or better on the critical reading section of the SAT may also demonstrate the necessary English language proficiency.
