For more than ten years, the University of Oregon Flagship Program has provided students with the opportunity to develop professional-level Chinese while studying any academic major of their choice. The Flagship Program curriculum includes cross-disciplinary study that blends language and culture learning with contemporary topics, and also includes meaningful study abroad with full-time internships in China.

Katriel Perry is a fourth year undergraduate student at the University of Oregon and a Flagship student who is majoring in Chinese literature and Asian studies. Currently, she is gearing up for her capstone year of study abroad at Nanjing University and an internship in an area of her interest. She will direct enroll in courses related to her major and live with a Nanjing roommate and tutor from within her chosen academic field. The Flagship Nanjing Center will work with her to arrange an internship that fits her profile and professional goals. 

“I am really excited!” Ms. Perry says. “At the UO Flagship, I always see capstone returnees coming back and sharing their experiences abroad. I am always amazed by how fluent their Chinese is. They always emphasize how much the Nanjing program helps in improving their language skills quickly. I can’t wait to get started.”

Three things Ms. Perry likes the most about the Flagship Program are the opportunities for outside-of-class language support, the fun Chinese-related events, and the interesting course topics.

Join us in wishing Ms. Perry luck on her upcoming capstone year in Nanjing!
