Last fall, a group of UoG students spent four months in China on the Shanghai Semester Abroad Program. The program was coordinated by UoG studio art Professor James Carl, who led the group "to a variety of locations, from the Shanghai Museum that holds artworks dating back more than 5,000 years, to galleries featuring contemporary art." Read more about Shanghai Semester Abroad Program, Fall 2014 here [1].

Semester Abroad programs are formal University of Guelph semesters conducted overseas that are organized by the Centre for International Programs and a Guelph faculty member who acts as coordinator. The Semester Abroad Coordinator travels with the students overseas and arranges accommodation, field trips and courses. Students pay Guelph tuition and fees. For more information, visit here [2].
