| Description: | The
University of Michigan's Office of International Programs (OIP)
administers over 70 programs in 36 countries on six continents. The Peking
University (PU) and Beijing Normal University (BNU) programs both begin at
BNU with a mandatory seven-week intensive language training session
focused on developing skills at the intermediate and advanced levels. UM
students who wish to spend only the fall semester in China remain at BNU,
where they take continuing courses in written and spoken Chinese, and in
Chinese literature and history covering the period 1900-1949. Those who
elect to stay for an academic year may do so at BNU or, following the
summer program, move to Peking University. At PU抯 Center for
Teaching Chinese to Foreigners, the language and literature curriculum
emphasizes improvement of spoken and written Mandarin and deepening one抯
understanding of Chinese society and culture. Students with sufficient
proficiency may audit or take regular university courses in history, the
social sciences, and other fields on both campuses. Supervised independent
study for credit is possible and encouraged.
Students with at least elementary Mandarin Chinese take humanities
and social science courses at Beijing
University or Beijing
Normal University
