Ten Fitchburg State University professors are teaching in Shanghai, China, this summer as part of a new exchange program.

Around 90 Chinese students enrolled at American universities – including one at Fitchburg State – will take the summer courses, which are being offered at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics this month. The American faculty will teach classes in art, business, economics, history, math and other subjects.

The arrangement was made possible by a recent agreement between Fitchburg State and the AUIA International Summer School. More Fitchburg State students will be able to take classes through that partnership next year, according to the university, and apply for some planned scholarships as well.
