Alternative Spring
Program

Keep your education on track and enjoy campus life

* not abaliable for 2024/25

What is the Alternative Spring Program (ASP)?

The Alternative Spring Program (ASP) was provided by G-MEO to address the needs of Chinese international students enrolled in universities in the US but currently located in China. The ASP program put Chinese international students in an English language US-style learning environment and keept their education plans on track.

The program also provided US universities and colleges with a suitable venue in China to launch their Overseas Spring Semester Program. This was due to the possibility that the past travel restrictions between the US and China would not be removed in time for students to secure their visas and book limited flights to the US in time to start their Spring semester.

The ASP was developed with one of the top US-accredited universities in New Jersey, Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU).  Upon completion of the ASP, FDU issued each student an official transcript with 100% credit transferability, keeping all students on track to complete their education. Students looked forward to taking advantage of FDU’s valuable contributions.

Program Location and Duration 

The Alternative Spring Program was administrated by G-MEO and partner universities in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. The program ran in the Spring 2021 & 2022 semesters
