The application qualifies me for consideration in the University of Rhode Island Chinese Language Flagship program. If I am accepted and choose to enroll, I understand that I am required to complete intensive Flagship coursework during each summer and winter at URI/in China or Taiwan, during each academic year at URI, and that the program directors must approve my course choices. The Capstone Year as a URI Flagship Scholar includes one semester of study at the Taipei Capstone Program at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University followed by a professional internship in the host country. The pre-Capstone year requires completion of a research project in collaboration with a Chinese faculty member in any major field of study. These requirements are subject to negotiation with the program directors; any variation in these requirements must be approved by the directors before my application status is determined. By signing below, I acknowledge my commitment to the URI Chinese Language Flagship Program, if admitted, and agree to abide by these terms.
