China Studies Program

Students interested in China will have the opportunity to engage in this intriguing country from the inside. The semester will include study of standard Chinese language, geography and history, religion and culture, and China's modern development. Participants will travel throughout China to such places as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and the Guangzhou/ Hong Kong region. They will have ample opportunity to interact with Chinese faculty and students on the campus of the host university and with students of English whom they will assist as conversation partners. As with our other semester programs, the Council recommends 16 semester credit hours for participants in the China Studies Program.
