About the Program
Spend your summer improving your Chinese language skills in a short period of time.

You'll have the opportunity to practice your language skills with locals and native speakers, and to deepen your understanding of Chinese culture through weekly cultural activities that bring lessons learned in the classroom to life, such as calligraphy and painting workshops, conversations with Chinese students, and guided class excursions around the city.

If you choose the 1-course option, you may earn 3-4 credits (up to 60 contact hours); if you choose the 2-course option, you may earn 7 credits (up to 105 contact hours.)

Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses and take a language level placement exam. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for China. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
