Participation
To participate in the China Studies Program, students must be enrolled as full-time students and be receiving academic credit for the program from their home institution. The CSP does not grant credit directly; rather, it serves as an extension campus of the member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities.

The program recommends to home institutions that students be granted the equivalent of 16-17 semester hours of credit (24 units), distributed as follows:

Because the program is interdisciplinary in nature, credits may be applied in a variety of ways. Possible application can be made to fulfill general education requirements or those in a student's academic major or minor. The seminar courses correspond to upper-level courses. Students should atively seek out their advisors to decide the best way to apply the credit.

Grading

A "C" grade indicates adequate performance, a "B" grade indicates good, competent and complete work, and an "A" grade indicates excellent, creative and integrative work, revealing superior analysis and content.
