CHINA: Beijing Program Institute for the International Education of Students

The IES Beijing program shares facilities with the Hydro-Ecology Institute, Shui-Dian Guanli Xueyuan. Students combine intensive language study at the intermediate level in small groups and with individual tutors with academic work in Chinese area studies. Seminars taught in English provide opportunities for original research and field work. Internships are available in business and education, involving a practicum of 10 hours per week. Volunteer opportunities are available in such areas as secondary English teaching. Field trips are an integral part of the program and incorporate extensive travel to sites such as Yunnan Provice and Inner Mongolia. Students maximize their cultural integration through living in a dormitory with Chinese students or, for students with sufficient language skills, through a homestay with a Chinese family. Eligibility: One year of college-level Mandarin Chinese or the equivalent.
