As part of the Flagship undergraduate degree program, students are expected to complete Capstone Year Overseas before graduating. Currently there are two Capstone locations – one is overseas and the other is domestic.
During the Overseas Capstone Year in China or Taiwan, you’ll take 2-3 language classes at the Flagship Center, as well as 1-3 classes in your field at host institution in China (TBA) or National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and complete an internship that makes use of your Chinese language skills.
Note: NYCU accepts applicants for both Fall and Spring semester.
There is also a Domestic Capstone Year in Monterey, California. Our staff can tell you more about this exciting new option at the Defense Language Institute.
