Summer Language Program in Beijing

The City

Beijing station -- John DeChellis, Summer 2007

The capital of China, Beijing is the nation’s political, administrative and historic center of learning and culture. With all the contradictions and excitement of a modern megalopolis, Beijing provides students with an unprecedented opportunity to witness firsthand the rapidly changing culture of one of the dominant players of the 21st century.

The Program

The Summer Language Program in Beijing is an intensive nine week Chinese language program for students with at least one semester of Chinese. Based at the Central University for Nationalities (CUN), students can explore the rich cultural resources of Beijing.

"I was very very impressed by the quality of this program. It was well-organized, well-thought out, the support staff were great, and my Chinese improved vastly."
