What do you really know about China?

Where 5,000 years of history and culture clash with unprecedented growth and change, China has become one of the most exotic and dynamic places on Earth.

After a period of isolation and struggle, China reopened it’s doors to the world in the 1980s. It shed light on an ancient and distinct culture. A culture entirely different than our own. A culture shaped by Confucius philosophy, dynastic rule, striking art forms, economic growth, and political revolution. Now, as China steps onto the world stage, it has become more important than ever for you to understand this culture, this country, and its people. What are you waiting for?

Since 1998, The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies (TBC) has provided the world an unprecedented education about China. You and others from across the country and the globe will travel to Beijing to learn about and experience both the immense transformations and rich traditional cultures of China. TBC combines intensive course studies, opportunities for immersion, and academic excursions across the country to give you a well-rounded understanding of China.
