Summer in Beijing




Admission Requirements

The minimum requirements* for participating in the Summer in Beijing program are:
  • You are currently a student in good standing at an accredited college or university in the United States, Canada or selected other countries
  • You have maintained a minimum GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale
  • You will have at least sophomore academic standing by the time you participate in the program and will have completed at least one academic year at your home institution. In other words, you can attend this program after completing at least your freshman year in college.
* We might make limited exceptions in special circumstances. Give us a call at (877) 300-7010 before submitting an application if you think special circumstances might apply to you.

Distinguishing Factors

We are inclusive in our programs because we believe most students have the capability to benefit from a study abroad experience. That said, we do evaluate the following qualitative factors to ensure that you are a good fit with the program and are qualified to have a successful experience.
  • Interest in the program topic
  • Overall academic performance
  • Rationale for participating in the program
  • Disciplinary record / maturity
Overall, we are looking for students who we think will have the intellectual curiosity, energy and passion for learning and travel that will allow them to complete the academic component successfully, enjoy the program, and contribute to their classmates' learning.

Qualified candidates who we are not able to accommodate due to capacity constraints will be given priority for the next semester's program, so we encourage you to apply as early as is feasible.

We do not discriminate in our application decisions on the basis of gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, political affiliation or sexual orientation.
