Semester in Dalian, China
 Exchange with
Dongbei
University
of Finance and
Economics (DUFE)
The
Dongbei
University of Finance and Economics (DUFE) was founded in 1952
in the northern Chinese city of Dalian. As its name suggests, DUFE is particularly well-known for its degrees in Business
and Economics. Like a public comprehensive university in the
United States, it offers majors in scores of disciplines
including law, the humanities, and social sciences. The
School for International Business (SIB) at DUFE was
established in 2002 to coordinate international education
initiatives for the university. The
International Institute for Chinese Language and Culture
provides a wealth of coursework in Chinese language.
Through a special arrangement, Salisbury University
has created an opportunity for students to
combine a semester of study of Chinese language with coursework
taught in English in either Business or Chinese Studies.

Each year
students from DUFE come to Salisbury University to study and
students from Salisbury travel to the SIB at DUFE. There is
currently one exchange slot available to an SU student at the
SIB at DUFE each year. Selection is competitive. Exchange
students pay the equivalent of full time tuition and fees to
their home institution and study tuition-free at their host
university. Additional fees include international airfare,
room and board, insurance, passport and visa fees, and
personal expenses.

CITY OF DALIAN:
A bustling coastal city of 5.6
million people, Dalian is the most important port city in
Northeast China. It is located on the Liaodong Peninsula and is
bordered by the Yellow Sea to the north. Although Dalian can
trace its heritage back nearly 6,000 years, it has only grown
from a small seaside town to a major metropolitan area within
the past 100 years. It was occupied by Russia and then the
Soviet Union throughout the first half of the twentieth century.
This blending of cultures has left its mark on Dalian’s culture
and architecture. Now a principal city in its region, Dalian
features a cosmopolitan culture of bars and restaurants,
teahouses, clubs and theaters. Just outside of town residents of
Dalian enjoy outdoor activities in the surrounding mountains,
and water sports on the local beaches. In 2000 Dalian was
recognized by the United Nations for its efforts as a “green”
city for its ongoing efforts to protect its local natural
resources.
