Description

Students who have been admitted to the School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. as well as the Hopkins-Nanjing Center are eligible to participate in a five-semester option which would ultimately award them both a Certificate in Chinese and American Studies from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center and a Master of Arts degree from SAIS. After the successful completion of two semesters in Nanjing and three additional semesters at SAIS in Washington, they will receive both credentials. The order of the coursework is flexible, but the year at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center must be completed first.

Students pursuing this option are required to meet the admissions requirements of both the HNC Certificate program and the SAIS M.A. degree. Only one application is required for admission, however admission to either the Hopkins-Nanjing Center or to SAIS does not constitute admission to the other institution.

Hopkins-Nanjing Center's Mission Statement

The Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies is jointly administered by Nanjing University and The Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Our campus is located on a corner of the Nanjing University campus in Nanjing, China. The Center offers two residential graduate level programs: a two-year M.A. degree in International Studies, and a one-year, graduate-level program in Chinese and American studies. American and other international students conduct most of their studies in Chinese, while the Chinese student population completes coursework in English. Together, the Chinese and International students learn about each other's countires and culture in the greater field of international relations.
