WMU: Chinese Language and Culture (Faculty-Led)

The Chinese Language and Culture Tour is one of WMU's oldest programs, having run for over 16 years. Our longstanding partnership with the prestigious Beijing Language and Culture Institute (BLCU) helps provide a total immersion experience for both undergraduate and graduate students in contemporary China. Participants study with local Chinese students at BLCU and visit Beijing and the surrounding area for two weeks. Some of the cultural tours may include travel to Confucius' hometown, Tai Mountain, Nanjing and Suzhou. This study tour will provide students insight into Chinese society, tradition and lifestyle, and offers many opportunities to explore China, strengthen language skills and deepen their understanding of Chinese culture. The course will be taught in English. The program is open to all majors and minors without prerequisite.
