姚明要上交大，拿学位要考四六级

Former Houston Rockets center Yao Ming will study in the prestigious Shanghai Jiaotong University from October, his agent Zhang Mingji said here on Monday.

Zhang said that Yao has not decided his major but the university will choose special teachers and give the super star lessons on a one-to-one basis.

Yao, who announced to retire from basketball on July 20, said earlier that he had been considering going back to school this fall but did not reveal which school he will choose.

"He is sure to go to Shanghai Jiaotong University in October," Zhang said. "But he has not made up his mind which major he will choose."

Reports said earlier that Yao will major in financial management but Zhang said those are just "speculations."

"Yao has always been learning after retirement," Zhang said. "He has never stopped learning."

Zhang said Yao has thought about having lessons with ordinary students, but this possibility was ruled out because he is worried that his appearance will affect other students.

Zhang added that Yao, like each student in the university, will receive his degree after getting credit and passing necessary examinations.

男篮亚锦赛结束，姚明也结束了解说任务，接下来该考虑上学了。姚之队负责人章明基昨日接受采访时证实，姚明将于10月正式进入上海交通大学深造。上学的方式主要采取单独授课，专业方向尚未确定。

考虑到姚明身份的特殊性，与一般学生一起在课堂上课显然不切实际，他基本上会与刘翔、丁俊晖等当初读书的方式差不多，采取一对一的方式上课。不过，虽然就读方式与一般学生有别，但是拿到学位的“流程”却是无异。交大方面的知情人称：“他还是需要一门门修学分，也需要接受考试，四、六级英语测试同样必不可缺。”
