Description

This 3-credit program aims to give Marquette students an interdisciplinary introduction to China. Consequently, the questions the program addresses are basic liberal arts questions about social justice in China and about the means and prospects for mutual understanding between diverse cultures. The program will facilitate learning about core issues in Chinese society including the structure of Chinese society, how Chinese communicate and express themselves and how Americans and Chinese can get along.

In order to gain multiple perspectives on China, students will spend time in Beijing but will also visit a smaller city and spend time in rural China. Many visitors to China see only the most prosperous and cosmopolitan cities and a few tourist sites. This program will allow students a far broader experience of China.

Examples of activities outside the classroom in China will include:

* Visits to art museums and galleries
* Excursions to multiple locations
* Tours of historical neighborhoods
