Sendelta's summer program is fully managed by the school, with professional college counseling teams overseeing every step from planning to execution. For course design, the counseling team carefully selected courses that match students' academic levels and ensure teaching quality:
57 Hours of Immersive Learning: 19 sessions (3 hours each) were held at USC's Annenberg School for Communication (ranked No. 1 in the U.S.), taught by USC's own business and social sciences professors.
Cutting-Edge Courses + PBL Practice: Covering hot areas like business management, new media communication and social enterprise operations, the program applied Project-Based Learning (PBL) to connect theory with practice. Through group collaboration and solving real-world problems, students enhanced their teamwork and project management skills.
Close Guidance from Admissions Officers: USC's admissions director explained the U.S. undergraduate application process in detail, highlighting the "well-rounded development + vivid personality" that top universities value. This gave Sendeltans diverse insights and clearer goals for their growth.
Beyond academics, diverse visits added depth and warmth to the learning experience:
Annenberg Media Center Tour: Led by professors, students observed the full process of U.S. news production and experienced the advanced facilities of top communication education.
Corporate Study Trip: Students visited the Los Angeles headquarters of SuperOrdinary (a key TikTok partner in beauty), learning real cases of brand building and marketing from this brand that started in Shanghai and now has a global presence.
Dream School Preview: A visit to UCLA allowed students to experience college life in advance and clarify their goals for target universities.
Cultural Immersion: From the California Science Center to the Natural History Museum, Sendeltans left their youthful footprints at Los Angeles landmarks and experienced cultural exchanges.
During the 19-day USC journey, Students gained not only academic knowledge and practical experience but also learned to communicate, collaborate and surpass themselves in a multicultural environment. These experiences will become valuable assets for their lifelong learning.
In the future, Sendelta will continue to cooperate with world-top universities to create more high-quality overseas learning opportunities for students, helping every dream-chaser make steady progress on their academic and personal growth journey.
