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.

男籃亞錦賽結(jié)束，姚明也結(jié)束了解說任務(wù)，接下來該考慮上學(xué)了。姚之隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)人章明基昨日接受采訪時(shí)證實(shí)，姚明將于10月正式進(jìn)入上海交通大學(xué)深造。上學(xué)的方式主要采取單獨(dú)授課，專業(yè)方向尚未確定。

考慮到姚明身份的特殊性，與一般學(xué)生一起在課堂上課顯然不切實(shí)際，他基本上會(huì)與劉翔、丁俊暉等當(dāng)初讀書的方式差不多，采取一對(duì)一的方式上課。不過，雖然就讀方式與一般學(xué)生有別，但是拿到學(xué)位的“流程”卻是無異。交大方面的知情人稱：“他還是需要一門門修學(xué)分，也需要接受考試，四、六級(jí)英語測(cè)試同樣必不可缺。”

滬江小編：要說姚明在米國呆了9年，口語絕對(duì)沒問題。不過咱們國內(nèi)的四六級(jí)考試的關(guān)鍵是詞匯、閱讀，不知道姚童鞋到時(shí)會(huì)表現(xiàn)如何。

P.S. 正在奮斗四六級(jí)的童鞋聽到這里不知道有米有些安慰呢？套用一句話來說：你不是一個(gè)人在奮斗哦！^^
