Professional Development

AASCU’s Office of International Education offers an array of professional development opportunities for administrators and faculty members. These include the following:

• China Studies Institute (CSI): CSI participants travel to China for an immersive three-week introduction to Chinese culture and an opportunity to strengthen their campuses’ academic linkages to China.
  
  
• Japan Studies Institute (JSI):  JSI participants travel to San Diego, California for two weeks to engage in a series of workshops led by Japanese scholars, business leaders, artists and journalists. The goal of JSI is to help participants incorporate Japanese Studies into their respective undergraduate curricula.
