Syracuse University Beijing Center
Description
The new SU Beijing Program, located at China's prestigious Tsinghua University, offers students at all language levels an opportunity to study the complexities of contemporary China across disciplines-including history and geography, political science and international relations, and communications.
Highlights
Designed for both graduate and undergraduate students, the academic program features field study with on-site lectures in Beijing and other cities, language study at all levels, courses taught in English, and other options for those proficient in Mandarin.
The Beijing program begins with a two-week field study course taught on site in Xi'an, Beijing, and Shanghai, "China: Past, Present, and Future." It provides an introduction to contemporary China, its diversity of people, and the challenges of fast-track modernization.
Through lectures, guest speakers, site visits, and traveling you'll start your exploration of one of the world's oldest civilizations - its glorious past, bitter memories, and ongoing struggle with history and modernity.
