Description: Duke University will offer its 29th annual study program in Beijing in 2010, to be hosted at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), located conveniently in the Chaoyang District. The summer term, mid-June through mid-August, offers a eight-week intensive Chinese language program, earning the equivalent of two semesters of course credit. Language classes are taught by faculty who are selected by the Duke Study in China program. Experienced faculty from Duke University will coordinate the program. Participants go on organized excursions to places of interest in and around Beijing on weekends. At the mid-point of the program, there is a long-weekend trip to a site of interest farther away, such as Xi'an. Other program features include a language pledge, local Chinese language partners, small classes, weekly Chinese table, and extra curricular activities.
