The Chicago in Beijing program offers qualified undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to study Chinese language in a completely Chinese-speaking environment, allowing students to acquire one year’s worth of language study credit in just eight weeks. Students receive daily Chinese language instruction at the University of Chicago Center in Beijing and live in international student dorms on the campus of nearby Renmin University, in the northwest part of the city, about eight miles from Tiananmen Square (considered the city’s center). Beijing, a modern city with a three-thousand-year history and a lively art and music scene, is a compelling venue for cultural and linguistic immersion. More information is available here
