China is an enormously exciting country, and the transformation of its social, political and economic dimensions has brought a new openness and interest in foreigners. USAC classes are held at Sichuan University in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, one of the most scenic areas in all of China. Included in the program are field trips to regional areas of interest.
