Improve your Mandarin through intensive daily practice, immerse yourself in diverse Chinese cultural traditions and communities, and gain valuable insights into the country's contemporary side. The gap year program, China Semester: Mandarin Language Intensive, is for students interested in language study, cultural immersion, and broad exposure to daily life. Our semester in China does more than introduce the country’s ever-expanding cities; we gain a firsthand understanding of its diverse peoples and cultures by moving through lesser-visited urban and rural landscapes. Immersive travel experiences are balanced with a strong language curriculum and modern Chinese history and culture exploration.
