MESSAgE frOM IIE

The Theme song for the Shanghai World Expo, “The World Watching China,” is more apt today than ever, especially in the realm of international education.

According to IIE’s 2010 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, China was the fifth most popular study abroad des-tination, with 13,674 U.S. students studying in China for academic credit back home during academic year 2008/2009. Several thousand more directly enrolled in Chinese institutions, in degree programs or other studies, accord-ing to China’s data submitted to Project Atlas. These numbers will continue to rise with President Obama’s 100,000 Strong Initiative, announced in May 2010, with a goal of having 100,000 American students study in China over the next four years. This U.S. govern-ment initiative is complemented by impressive student mobility goals set by China’s Ministry

of Education. The Study in China Plan, announced in November 2009, seeks to make China the most popular Asian destination for international students, with over 500,000 international students by 2020.

To highlight the importance both nations attach to the government-supported exchange of students, teachers and scholars to promote mutual understanding, the Institute and the U.S. Department of State held a joint press

China was the fifth most popular study abroad destination, with 13,674 U.S. students studying in China for academic credit back home during academic year 2008/2009.

briefing with Chinese media on November 16th in Washington, DC. During the briefing, Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Ann Stock reaffirmed that the State Department and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs are committed to increasing the number of U.S. students studying in China and are working closely with the private sector on the 100,000 Strong Initiative. To advance this important initiative, IIE is issuing this special edition of IIEPassport, featuring articles by Carola McGiffert, Senior Adviser to the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia and the Pacific and Yang Xinyu, Deputy Secretary General for the China Scholarship Council, profiles or students who have received U.S. government-funded scholarships to study abroad in China, and listings of study abroad programs in China.

U.S.-China student exchange is not new; in fact, the first Fulbright Program anywhere in the world was established with China in 1947. Today, the Fulbright Program with China is one of the largest in the world and the Institute is honored to assist the U.S. Department of State in administer-ing the Fulbright Program in China and globally. The Chinese government provides matching support, and China hosted over 70

U.S. students and scholars on the Fulbright Program in academic year 2009/2010.

Following IIEPassport’s sixty-year tra-dition of helping students identify and select study abroad programs, this special Study Abroad in China issue provides information on more than 350 programs open to U.S. undergraduate and graduate students offered by the U.S. and Chinese governments, third-party providers, private foundations and U.S. higher education insti-tutions. In addition, you can find informa-tion and helpful travel resources that serve to support study abroad. Not included are the many programs sponsored by colleges and universities but open just to their own students.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics turned the world’s attention to the convergence of international athletes on China. Long after the athletes went home, increasing numbers of students and scholars are continuing to travel to Beijing and all across China for educational opportunity. We expect to see continued growth in the number of career-minded American students going to China to study, and in the number of Chinese students and scholars coming to U.S. universities.

We hope this publication will inspire you to expand your own engagement with China. Indeed, the world is watching China, and American students are not just watching but visiting, studying and learning to work together with Chinese colleagues to build a better future. ■

100,000 STrONg INITIATIVE

100,000 Strong: Building Strategic Trust in U.S.-China Relations through EducationBy Carola McGiffert

The need for Americans to gain greater exposure to and understanding of China is clear: there is perhaps no more important or complex relationship in the world than that between the United States and China in terms of securing global peace and security. Virtually no major international issue—whether global economic recovery or climate change or nuclear nonproliferation—can be solved without the active engagement of both the United States and China working in con-cert. As President Obama stated in July 2009, “the relationship between the United States and China will shape the 21st century.”

Yet Americans know relatively little about China. According to the 2010 Open Doors report, only 13,674 U.S. college students stud-ied in China in 2008-09, making it the fifth most popular study abroad destination. For high school students, which are not tracked by Open Doors, we have seen estimates of about 1,000. That same report shows that over 100,000 Chinese students enrolled in American universities this past year, meaning that eight times more Chinese students come to the United States for educational programs than Americans who study in China.

The contrast is even greater when it comes to language study. English language study is part of China’s national curriculum. As a result, according to Chinese offi-cial media, over 300 million Chinese were studying English in 2006—nearly a quarter of the country’s population. According to the Modern Language Association, 50,000 Americans are learning Mandarin.

In addition, there are differences in the type of study abroad by U.S. and Chinese students, in part reflecting the excellence of higher education offered in the United States. While many U.S. students in China partici-pate in summer, semester, and year language and study programs, most Chinese are completing four-year and graduate degrees

in the United States. According to Open Doors 2010, nearly 60 percent of Chinese students in the United States are in graduate programs. Chinese government data reports that only a handful of American students are currently pursuing graduate degrees at Chinese universities.

Finally, the Americans who do take advantage of study abroad programs have historically been a remarkably homogenous group. A typical profile for an American study abroad student is female, Caucasian, middle or upper class, and enrolled in a four-year college or university. While we encourage and support the significant expansion of this group, who are already motivated to study in China, we must also do more to reach a broader cross-section of Americans.

Community colleges, middle and high school students, African-Americans and Hispanics, students from lower economic backgrounds, and public schools are greatly underrepresented in study abroad programs, and particularly those to China. Community colleges, for example, enroll almost half of all undergraduate students in the United States, yet less than 3 percent of those who study abroad come from community colleges.

And yet it is exactly these underrep-resented students who could most ben-efit from study abroad programs. A recent study by the Georgia Learning Outcomes of Students Studying Abroad Research Initiative (GLOSSARI) found that students who study abroad have improved academic performance upon returning home and higher graduation rates. This study focused on college students, but there is also evidence that high school students who engage in some form of study abroad graduate at higher rates and are better prepared for college and the workplace.

These factors—a relatively low-level of first-hand knowledge, plus the lack of

diversity in terms of types of study and types of students—combine to create an imbal-ance in knowledge and experience between the United States and China, one which has the potential to undermine strategic trust between the two countries. As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated in May 2010, the success of the United States and China “will be based on how well we understand each other, respect each other, trust each other and are open to learning from each other.”

Redressing this imbalance in knowledge and experience is essential to ensuring that Americans have the cultural understanding and language skills that underpin effective diplomacy and foreign policy. In addition, redressing this imbalance will ensure that our students are prepared for their role in the global economy, where international literacy is a critical skill.

In order to stay economically competitive, Americans will need to understand the global economy of the 21st century. Today, one in five U.S. jobs is linked to international trade. Earlier this year, China became the second largest economy in the world, after the United States; to be sure, America’s economic growth is inextricably linked with that of China.

In part for these reasons, interest in China is on the rise among Americans. The number of Americans studying in China quadrupled from 2000-2007, and we expect those numbers to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. (Numbers for 2008-10 might not be as robust due to the global financial crisis, but demand has not waned.) And yet, while this organic growth is remarkable—and encouraging—current trends may be insufficient to meet the real challenges and opportunities of this vitally important relationship.

That is why, in November 2009, President Barack Obama cal led for a dramatic increase—to 100,000 over four years—in

100,000 STrONg INITIATIVE

Americans studying in China. Secretary Clinton officially launched the 100,000 Strong Initiative in May 2010 as part of the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange and the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing. The Chinese government strongly supports the initiative and has already committed 10,000 Bridge Scholarships for American students to study in China.

The 100,000 Strong Initiative seeks to pre-pare the next generation of American experts on China who will be charged with managing the growing political, economic, and cultural ties between the United States and China. The initiative also seeks to develop specific opportunities and funding sources for under-represented students to study in China so that a broader cross-section of Americans can gain a deeper understanding of China, and will be better equipped to engage in the global economy.

If the United States hopes to remain competitive and lead global cooperation in

business, science, technology, and education, and to continue to build a positive and com-prehensive relationship with China, it must invest in the next generation by giving them the language skills and cultural know-how to engage effectively abroad. We must ensure that our young people have access to the best jobs, many of which require interna-tional literacy.

The 100,000 Strong Initiative is designed to complement successful existing study abroad and language study efforts by the State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Defense. It will be funded by the private sec-tor, and administered by non-governmental organizations.

The U.S. Government, with the support of Congress, funds a number of scholar-ship programs to support Americans to study in China, including the Fulbright Program, Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship Program, the Critical Language Scholarships

for Intensive Summer Institutes, the NSLI-Youth Program, David L. Boren Scholarships and Fellowships, and The Language Flagship. All these programs support the shared goal of expanding international knowledge, understanding, and skills and expanding access to them.

The 100,000 Strong Initiative will have exponential impact: increasing opportuni-ties for Americans to understand better a country that is at once one of the oldest and most important civilizations and a major modern power. It will significantly contrib-ute to strengthening people-to-people ties between our two countries. It will have lasting impact on American students, and enhance their readiness for continued education and work. It will benefit U.S.-China strategic and economic relations over the long term. ■

STUDY IN CHINA PLAN

Study in China: A World of OpportunityBy Yang Xinyu

on sepTember 28, 2010, China’s Ministry of Education released the Study in China Plan, which lays out a path for China to become Asia’s largest destination for international education by 2020. This ambitious plan envi-sions that within ten years, the number of international students in China’s education institutions will reach 500,000, including 150,000 in higher education institutions.

The plan was formulated in accor-dance with China’s National Guideline for Medium- and Long-Term Education Reform and Development (2010–2020), which was released by the central government in July 2010. The Study in China Plan aims to pro-mote educational exchange and collaboration between China and other countries, furthering the internationalization of China’s education system and promoting student mobility. It shows that the Chinese government is com-mitted to supporting study in China through perfecting policy, improving management, and increasing the number of Study in China scholarships. The Plan also shows the govern-ment’s intention to help Chinese educational institutions attract international students. Key parts of this strategy include improving the quality of educational programs, increasing the number of programs offered in English, and providing better services and support. The Study in China Plan will be the guideline for international education in China over the next 10 years.

According to data released by the Ministry of Education, 238,184 international students from 190 countries and regions studied in China in 2009, an increase of 6.57 percent over the previous year. The students were placed in 610 Chinese higher education institutions in 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. South Korea takes the lead as the top country of origin, with 64,232 students, and the United States is second, with 18,650 students studying in China in 2009. Additional major countries of origin for international students in China include Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Russia, India, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan.

Seven Reasons to Study in ChinaIn recent years, China has gradually taken

its place among the major regional destina-tions for international education. Factors that attract students from around the world include China’s rich culture, fast-growing economy, and world-class higher education. China also offers a good study environment, low cost of living, funding opportunities, and an exciting experi-ence. For these and other reasons, the number of international students in the country has grown very quickly in the last five years. Here are seven good reasons to choose China as an international education destination: 1. Chinese government policy encourages international students to study in China. The Chinese central government has instituted a stable and continuous policy on study in China, and it offers support to Chinese educational institutions and international students. The Study in China Plan is a very good example of guidance from the central government for international education. The Regulation on the Management of International Education in China defines the rights and obligations of international students in China and regulates issues such as health insurance for interna-tional students, the academic credit system, the necessary criteria for institutions wish-ing to host international students, and the standard of services provided to international students. 2. China’s fast-growing economy provides opportunities for international students. China has witnessed rapid economic growth and social development in the last three decades. With a population of 1.3 billion, China has managed to sustain economic and social development while greatly increasing average living standards. The Chinese model of devel-opment often attracts international students and researchers to study many topics related to modern China. 3. China has a rich and fascinating culture. China’s history goes back more than 5,000 years, and this long history has enriched China’s culture and heritage. China is a mul-ticultural state with 56 different nationalities,

each of which has a unique culture that inter-national students may wish to explore. 4. China offers f lexible programs for international students. Chinese education institutions offer a variety of programs for international students. Elementary, second-ary, and higher education institutions all welcome international students, and many programs are available to meet different needs. International students can enroll in short-term programs as well as long-term programs. Options include Chinese language programs, cultural study programs, and undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in a vari-ety of fields. Many Chinese universities offer postgraduate and PhD programs taught in English. Information on individual programs is available on university websites. 5. China provides many sources of finan-cial assistance. Scholarships for international students are granted by China’s central govern-ment, provincial governments, and individual universities. In 2010, the Ministry of Education provided 20,000 scholarships, and over the next 10 years the government will continue to increase the number of scholarships available to international students. Some enterprises, such as the State Development Bank, offer special scholarships that are available for special purposes or to a targeted group of international students. 6. Chinese institutions offer good manage-ment and support systems. A standardized management system at China’s higher education institutions ensures that high-quality academic and social services are available to interna-tional students. Chinese universities provide academic assistance to international students through extra hours of language tutoring and coursework assistance. International students are guaranteed access to on-campus accommo-dations with reasonable rents. Universities also organize activities to help international students experience Chinese culture and understand the life of the Chinese people. The interna-tional offices of Chinese universities provide professional services to international students, including help with placement, immigration


STUDY IN CHINA PLAN

concerns, accommodation, health insurance, financial assistance, and other issues. 7. China offers opportunities for high-value, low-cost education. Chinese education is com-paratively cheap and affordable. One year of tuition is around USD 2,000–6,000, depend-ing on the subject, program, and university. Accommodation and living expenditures are also very reasonable. At Peking University, for example, tuition ranges from RMB 26,000–40,000 (USD 3,700–5,700); accommodation, meals, and other expenses are around RMB 30,000 (USD 4,300), RMB 10,000 (USD 1,500), and RMB 5,000 (USD 720) per year, respectively. Outside Beijing and Shanghai, the cost of study-ing and living can be much lower.

Scholarship ProgramsChinese government scholarship programs.

The Chinese government has created a num-ber of scholarship programs to help interna-tional students study in China. International students can apply for full scholarships and partial scholarships. In 2010, the Chinese government provided 20,000 scholarships to international students for undergraduate, postgraduate, and Chinese language–learning programs. The General Scholar Program and Senior Scholar Program provide fellowships for international academic visitors to conduct research in China. Scholarships are also available for research into Chinese culture and for overseas Chinese language teachers who wish to attend teacher-training programs in China. Hanban, the headquarters of the Confucius Institute, provides 3,000 scholar-ships each year for international students to study the Chinese language in China. Detailed information on these scholarships is available at the websites of the China Scholarship Council (www.csc.edu.cn) and Hanban (www.hanban.edu.cn). The educa-tion offices of Chinese diplomatic missions abroad also offer information on scholarships for study in China.

Provincial government scholarship pro-grams. Provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing) provide scholarships for international students to study at higher education institutions in their region. The scholarships are managed by local education authorities and allocated to universities in the region. International students can apply

for these scholarships directly from Chinese universities.

Institutional scholarship programs. All Chinese universities offer scholarships for international students, including full- and partial-tuition scholarships. The 39 universi-ties that are part of “Project 985,” a higher education funding initiative of the Chinese government, participate in the University Postgraduate Program. Through this pro-gram, government scholarships are allocated to these universities to support international students for postgraduate study. Information on the scholarship programs and application procedures is available on the individual university websites.

Opportunities for American StudentsChina and the United States are two

of the world’s great nations, and both play increasingly influential roles in world affairs. Understanding and cooperation between the two nations is ever more important. Exchanges between young people of China and the United States is an important way of understanding each other’s culture and system. During his state visit to China, President Barack Obama announced an initiative to send 100,000 American students to study in China over the next four years. Chinese education institutions are excited by this initiative and will make every effort to welcome American students to attend education programs in China.

American students are welcome to apply for the Chinese central and provincial gov-ernment scholarships mentioned above. All Chinese universities that are eligible to receive international students offer scholar-ships in different forms. Chinese government scholarships for American students include the following:

Full scholarships. The Chinese government provides 185 full scholarships to American stu-dents every year. Applications must be submit-ted through the education offices of the Chinese diplomatic missions in Washington, DC, New York, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The scholarships can support degree study at both the undergraduate and postgradu-ate levels, non-degree study in any subject, and language study. The China Scholarship Council can place students in Chinese universities according to their own wishes.

Scholarships offered through the U.S. Department of Education. China’s Ministry of Education funds five full scholarships for candi-dates recommended by the U.S. Department of Education. After candidates have been recom-mended by the U.S. Department of Education, applications must be submitted through the Education Office of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC.

Tuition scholarships offered through the Fulbright Program. The Chinese government provides up to 50 tuition scholarships every year to American students through the Fulbright Program. The Institute of International Education accepts applications for these scholarships and forwards them to the China Scholarship Council via IIE’s Beijing office.

Hanban scholarship programs. At the first meeting of the U.S.-China high-level consultation on people-to-people exchange, Chinese State Councilor Madame Liu Yandong and U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton expressed their wishes to strengthen bilateral understanding and cooperation and estab-lish programs to support people-to-people exchange. Following the meeting, Hanban proposed the “Chinese Bridge,” an initiative to support Chinese language and culture study for American students and young people through 10,000 scholarships and financial support over the next four years. Through this initiative, each year Hanban will sponsor visits to China for 800 U.S. school principals, invite 800 U.S. secondary students to China for summer camp, and provide scholarships to American Chinese language teachers for professional development in Chinese institutions.

ConclusionStudent exchange is the link and bridge of

mutual understanding and cooperation between nations, and is the medium of multi-cultural exchanges. International students are valuable human resources owned by both their country of origin and host country. Young people are the hope for our future, and international education experiences they gain from will surely benefit their own personal development, and also con-tribute to world peace and human understanding and development. ■

WHAT I LEArNED IN CHINA: STUDY AbrOAD TIPS

What surprised you the most about China’s culture? What surprised me the most about China’s culture was the large dif-ference between life in rural areas compared to life in China’s urban areas. Such disparities in culture and lifestyle exist in the U.S. as well, but not to the extreme that these differences exist in China. The difference between the culture found in rural China from the culture in Beijing and other large cities was amazing to experience.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?I wish I had known a bit more of the language and the history of China. Although it is possible to travel to China without knowing the language, I wish I had a greater understanding of Mandarin before I studied in China simply for the greater ease of access it would have afforded me with the local citizens. Also, since China is a country with a deep and rich history, I feel that I would have appreciated many of the breathtaking sites China has to offer twice as much had I known their background.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning?Studying abroad in China has given me a whole new outlook on my academic career and has ignited in me an even greater passion for learning Mandarin. Before studying abroad in China, I never real-ized just how much zeal I had for the field of Asian Studies. Now I plan to pursue these interests in graduate school and funnel them into my future career, hopefully one day working for the U.S. State Department.

April Dawn Smith, a student at Emory & Henry College, received a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship to study in China.

What is your advice for an American student planning to study in China?My advice for a student studying in China is to have an open mind and live in the moment, savoring the experience. The language barrier and cultural differences can quickly become overwhelming, but keep in mind that most other foreign students studying in China share these feelings and don’t let it detract from your experience. China is so extremely welcoming to foreign students that if you go with an open mind these issues will quickly fade and just become another aspect of your experience.

What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China?Some of the activities I would recommend for visiting students in China are cliché, like walking on the Great Wall of China or visit-ing the Summer Palace (my favorite scenic attraction). But a unique activity that I would recommend for visiting students is traveling to and spending time in China’s rural villages. It is easy to become consumed in China’s urban life while studying in a large city like Beijing, and completely miss out on the rural aspects of the country. I know that for me visiting these rural villages in China granted me a whole new perspective on not only China, but also on life in general. Finally, I would recommend getting out of your comfort zone and just talking to the locals. Nothing will give you a more in-depth look at China’s culture and customs than getting to know its citizens; not to mention that this is an absolutely fantastic way to practice your language skills. ■

What surprised you the most about China’s culture? I lived in China in 2008, 30 years after their great Economic Reform of 1978. What was once an agrarian economy has transformed into a thriving market economy of rapid modernity, where Chinese culture has not gone untouched. Across every skyline, cranes poked their heads out like delicate birds taking China off to new heights, but through the cobble alleyways of Old Beijing, families were still visibly struggling—the stratification and transformation of Chinese social classes were perhaps the most surprising.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?Aside from wishing I had packed frozen burritos, I would say that the Internet restrictions were sometimes troubling—but maybe it was a good thing to have Facebook ripped from my fingertips. If U.S. websites are an important part of your lifestyle, I would recommend securing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) before you depart.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning?With the U.S. job climate currently so dismal, I am looking at jobs abroad, especially in China or Taiwan. Since I lived there for a year, I have some connections, and integrating back into Chinese society does not give me anxiety. I am sad that my career has not taken off in the U.S., but I’m happy I have the confidence to look at the rest of the world for opportunities, especially in China.

After studying for a year in China, Gilman Scholar Clay Ngo (far left) traveled to Jianxi Province to teach English to underserved high school students.

What is your advice for an American student planning to study in China?If the Chinese language could be ingested in a pill, I wish I’d taken a healthy dose before I arrived in China. But the true magical pill comes from living in China and struggling to get by. Language is the key to adapting to new places, understanding culture, and most importantly, making friends and staying sane. I wish someone had advised me that language comes with time, and can’t be forced, no matter how many pinyin flashcards you study. Chinese vendors will become your best friends, even though they will make you bargain for your life. In the end, you’ll be all right.

What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China?Travel. The Chinese railway system is cheap and accessible, outstretch-ing, and outperforming the U.S. by a large margin—and it continues to grow. I took trains that traversed through mountains, over hills, and under tunnels (some lasted more than 24 hours!)—this was the best way to see China, from the West coast’s vast, lush countryside, to the East coast’s vibrant cities. Don’t forget your cup of noodles for the long trip! ■


What surprised you the most about China’s culture? I was most surprised about the Chinese view and definition of “for-eigners”. My fluency in Mandarin meant that I did not generate the same level of interest for interaction from Chinese students that other American students who were not Asian American did. However, being fluent and Chinese American also meant that I had more opportuni-ties to understand the inner workings of the personal politics at my home institution, which proved invaluable to me.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?I wish I had known more about the institutional culture of dealing with foreign researchers before I went to China. However, because of the lack of in-house foreign students and researchers, there was little information to prepare me for interacting and negotiating the terms of my research with my host. I was also not prepared for winters that were colder than the ones in California.

What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China? Learn to understand how Chinese students at your same stage of study live their lives. Try out their work schedule and participate in their leisurely activities. They are your peers now and also down the road in your career. If you continue to work with the Chinese, they are the kinds of people you will contact and work with. Mutual understanding is key, and it is simplest to begin with a walk in their shoes and a year in their lifestyle.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning?After my year abroad in China, I gained a wider perspective on the politics of my discipline in China, and of Chinese scientific research in general. I have a better understanding of how to approach a potential Chinese collaborator and what to anticipate in response. This does not mean I now agree with or approve the complex politics in which Chinese scientists are operating, but understanding the pitfalls in working in China is a lesson to be learned sooner rather than later in my career.

What is your advice for an American student planning to study in China? Come up with a clear set of expectations, and then put them aside when you arrive in China. Keep an open mind to the Chinese way of doing things, as they may be rooted in deep cultural differences that are not immediately apparent. Re-visit your expectations at the end of your stay, reflect on how the actual experience differed, and the reasons behind those differences. It is difficult to think like a Chinese citizen because they function in a complex society much like ours, but with different rules (and often regardless of what guidelines on paper say). ■



How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning? My first novel, A Thread of Sky, was published earlier this year by the Penguin Press. It’s the story of six strong-willed Chinese American women who reunite to tour their ancestral home, and if I hadn’t received a Fulbright to live in China to research and write the book, I might never have completed it. That sense of total immersion in the country where my story took place made all the difference. What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China? Visit Huangshan. Yes, it’s often overrun with tourists, but that’s no reason to miss it. It’s one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen, as well as an amazingly rich repository of cultural lore—and it provided the cover image for my book.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?That feeling completely at sea sometimes is the most formative part of the experience. Also, the skill level of pickpockets in China. As a New Yorker, I thought I was pretty street-savvy—until I moved to Shanghai and was relieved of a few cell phones and wallets.

Visiting Huangshan inspired the cover of Fulbrighter Deanna Fei’s acclaimed new novel, A Thread of Sky.

What is your advice for an American student planning to study in China? Daily life in China can be an overwhelming and frustrating experi-ence for us foreigners, and the most capable students can get stymied by tasks like paying the phone bill or picking up a parcel from the post office. When that happens, even the most enlightened among us are sometimes tempted to make judgments about the workings of Chinese society, its people, its institutions. Try to resist that urge, because judgment prevents true understanding.

What surprised you the most about China’s culture? The entrepreneurial spirit that reigns over today’s China, from the most futuristic city blocks to the poorest corners of the countryside. No matter how much I’d heard and read about it, the sweep and intensity of it never ceased to amaze me. Americans tend to think of our country as the land of boundless opportunity, but I’d never felt as much of a sense among ordinary citizens that anything is possible until I lived in China. And whether you view that entrepreneurial spirit through the lens of progress or what might be getting lost, it’s undeniably a force to be reckoned with. ■


What surprised you the most about China’s culture?I was most surprised by the level of excitement many Chinese students have when meeting Americans. Unlike in the U.S., where wide ethnic diversity is common, students in China often do not have opportuni-ties to interact with students from other countries. Many students are very eager to tell China’s story and curious to hear the stories of other countries—particularly United States.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?I wish I had met more Chinese students and done more work related to China before I left. That would have gotten my understanding of China—beyond just language skills—to a point where I really could take full advantage of my time in Beijing.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning?Because of the incredible experience I had studying abroad, I’ve spent the rest of my time at university preparing myself for a career of work with China. During study abroad, I spent most of my free time meet-ing and chatting with students at my host institution, Peking Univer-sity. I’ve made many friends who have the ambition and inspiration to really make an impact on China’s future. I also got in touch with many business and political leaders who could teach me about the ever-changing environment there. These experiences have inspired me to join Global China Connection (GCC), the major student-run nonprofit that connects Chinese and American youth leaders.

What is your advice for a student studying in China?Classes will not make you fluent. They will teach you how to under-stand the basic structure of Chinese, but learning how to use it in real life is a different story.

What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China?Meet as many Chinese students and speak as much Chinese as pos-sible. Talk to Chinese students (in Chinese, of course)—most are very eager to have the opportunity to make a foreign friend. Get a friend to help you post an advertisement on your school’s BBS saying that you are a foreign student looking to meet some local students. Join clubs on campus and go to the meetings. And don’t spend your time hang-ing out with English speakers.

I also would suggest reaching out to Chinese professionals who work in fields in which you are interested. They often enjoy interact-ing with a student from another country, especially if you are truly interested in the work they do. You can get a lot of insights from them, and maybe they can even help you make a connection for a future job.

If you plan on working in China later on, do not worry about see-ing every single tourist site while you are studying abroad. You can see them later. Right now, you are in China to study and build connec-tions. Those sites will be much more meaningful when you can truly understand them from a Chinese perspective. ■

What surprised you the most about China’s culture?China’s culture is one of the oldest and most extravagant of the world, and I find it impossible to name just one aspect of it that I found surprising. However I was amazed by the number of holidays and festivals that the Chinese celebrated. It was wonderful to be able to learn about China’s festivals while celebrating them with Chinese friends and family members. The largest holiday is the Spring Fes-tival, or Chinese New Year. I also had an opportunity to celebrate Duanwu Jie, or Dragon Boat Festival, in which dragon boats are raced, and everyone partakes in eating Zongzi, which are dumplings wrapped in lotus leaves. My favorite festival is Zhongqiu Jie—the Mid-Autumn Festival. Families gather together to eat mooncakes, a sweet pastry with various fillings, tell stories, and go outside to look at the full moon.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?I wish I was more aware of the concept of culture shock before I left for studying abroad. Immersing yourself into a completely new social and cultural environment can be a source for bewilderment and dis-tress for many. I found myself beginning to get confused and irritated toward traditions and customs that I was not used to, and I desper-ately missed my family, my friends, and my country. Yet culture shock and homesickness do not last for long, especially if you take control of your situation. The key is to not mope around, but to stay active. In-stead of resenting new customs, include yourself in them. And never underestimate the power of pausing to take a few deep breaths. You’re in China, so get out there and enjoy yourself!

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career?Studying abroad helped hone my Chinese language skills to a level that would have been impossible if I had remained in the U.S. By speaking daily, I became more fluent in two weeks than in the three years I stud-ied Chinese prior to studying abroad. Since returning, numerous com-panies have contacted me to work for them in China. Studying abroad has definitely opened doors to many career paths in the future!

What is your advice for a student studying in China?Immerse yourself entirely in the Chinese culture: watch Chinese mov-ies, make Chinese friends, and celebrate Chinese holidays. Force your-self to speak to the locals at least once a day. Avoid going to Western themed restaurants and cafes, and speak English as little as possible. You’re in China, so take advantage of the 1.3 billion opportunities to practice your Chinese!

What activities do you recommend for visiting students in China?TRAVEL! Even if you can’t explore the entire country, move around the province you’re in. Traveling in China is easy and inexpensive, and will allow you to encounter different customs, ethnic groups, foods, and dialects. A guidebook like Lonely Planet will help you find places to eat and sleep, but usually the local gems are hidden. Talk to other people who are traveling and see what they recommend for great places to eat, sleep, and sightsee. Don’t forget your camera, and bring a journal, because this is one trip you will want to remember! ■

What surprised you the most about China’s culture? As an extracurricular activity, I participated in something called “The English Corner.” I would stand in the middle of the square and random students would come to practice their English with me. I could relate to that way of learning because I also sought people out to practice my Chinese, and participating in “The English Corner” helped me to meet Chinese friends. We went to the movies; I was invited to people’s houses, and it was a thrilling experience overall.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad?I’m originally from Arkansas and studied in Chengdu, China for an academic year. One of the reasons I decided on that particular area of China is because it is slightly off the beaten path. I wanted to study in a place where there would be few foreigners because I thought it would be good for language acquisition.

My life in China was very fulfilling. On a typical day, I would go to Chinese class for four hours in the morning, have lunch near campus with a friend, and in the afternoon I had my other classes. I took a Chinese government class, a Chinese culture class, and for fun I took a class on Chinese cuisine. I had really gotten used to some of the local food, and was interested in learning how to cook it since I knew I would have a hard time finding it when I got back to Arkansas.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning? My Boren term also affected my language skills in a dynamic way. Nothing can compare to the year that I spent there, particularly during

my second semester when I lived with a host family. In the first semester, I lived around other Americans and Europeans and, even though my Chinese improved, it was not as good as I wanted it to be. During my second semester, although both of my host parents did speak English, I specifically asked them not to because I wanted to work on my language skills, and they graciously kept that promise.

Since the scholarship ended, I have completed my degree at the University of Arkansas and received master’s degrees from Seton Hall University in Asian studies, and diplomacy and international relations. Last summer, I completed an internship in Taiwan with the Department of State.

What is your advice for an American student planning to apply for a Boren scholarship? If I could give advice to applicants for the Boren Scholarship, I would tell them to be honest, and to make sure they tap into the life experiences that motivated them to study overseas. I also sug-gest that applicants make friends in their institutions’ international program offices, since the staff is ready to help fine tune their applications.

A couple of years before I applied for the Boren Scholarship, going to China seemed like a far-fetched idea. It was a little overwhelm-ing at times since I was the only one from my school and I was far away by myself. However, I decided that it was more important for me to learn this language and to develop into a global citizen. I definitely appreciate the Boren Scholarship for giving me that opportunity. ■

Elaborate on what you studied while abroad.I attended an intensive Chinese language program, so my coursework was geared toward language acquisition more so than actual academic content. I took courses in written composition and modern Chinese literature, as well as a one-on-two course that utilized repetition, memorization, and drill exercises to improve pronunciation, grammar, and usage. I also took a one-on-one research course where I looked at the role of western international relations theory in contemporary Chinese academia.

How did your experience further your language skills and cultural understanding? Was there an experience or something you did that was particularly impactful?At the end of the day, the quality of your language skills are a product of how much work you put into developing them. I was in the classroom for seventeen hours a week and studying for another thirty on top of that, which really improved my vocabulary and increased my comfort in a range of situations. The best experience I had was living with a Chinese roommate. He was a master’s stu-dent in computer science and a Communist Party member, and so his professional and political philosophies were unfamiliar to me. We had a lot of great conversations and we became good friends by the end of the semester.

What do you wish you had known before you traveled abroad? I was fortunate to have lived in Taiwan for a year in high school, so my semester in Harbin wasn’t the first time I’d been abroad for an extended length of time. The best advice I got before going to Taiwan was to say yes to every invitation. It opens doors you never new existed.

How has the study abroad experience shaped your studies or career since returning?It didn’t change my studies after returning home, but it did allow me to improve my Chinese to a point where I was accepted into the student ambassador program at the USA Pavilion in Shanghai this past year. That was an excellent interlude between school and professional life, and I got to practice my Chinese everyday!

What is your advice for a student studying in China?Forget all of your prejudices about China, practice your Chinese by asking a lot of questions, and really listen to what locals have to say without judging their own prejudices. Also, try not to hang out with foreigners too often! There’s nothing wrong with having foreign friends, but don’t sacrifice opportunities to make friends with local students.

What activities do you recommend for visiting students?Every region in China has special sights and landmarks that are affordable and easily accessible by train. Try to see a traditional Chinese orchestra, sample the local cuisine, pay for someone to lead a tea ceremony for you and your friends. Have fun! ■

Tips for U.S. Students Preparing for Study AbroadBy Brian Whalen

Choosing To sTudy abroad as part of an undergraduate education is more com-mon in today’s global society than ever before. Students, professors administrators, and corporate and government leaders understand the value of the distinctive and important outcomes of a study abroad expe-rience. However, these outcomes and their benefits depend in great part on the student. Education abroad continues to become more popular each year, yet the number of U.S. students who participate is still a relatively small percentage (3 to 7 percent) of all col-lege and university students. Students who do choose to study abroad therefore have a special opportunity of which they should try to take full advantage.

How can students make the most of studying abroad? Below are some practi-cal suggestions based on my 20+ years of advising and discussing study abroad with students. I should say also that I am the parent of two college students, one of whom has studied abroad (not surprisingly) four different times. What I have learned about what makes study abroad most rewarding I hope is helpful to you.

Know ThyselfFor most students who study abroad,

the experience becomes a significant part of their overall college education as well as an important life event. Taking stock of who you are as a person will prepare you to reap the most out of the experience to make it as rewarding as possible. Reflect on your family background and personal history, political beliefs, interests and accomplishments, your academic studies and future goals. The more that you discover about yourself at this stage of your life, the more meaningful your study abroad experience will be, and the more it will remain so for the rest of your life.

Know Your Home Institution’s PoliciesYour college or university most likely has

policies and procedures in place regarding study abroad, and it is essential that you

understand them. These include policies and procedures regarding application and acceptance, program choice and prerequi-sites, credit transfer and course approvals, and study abroad fees and financial aid. Your education abroad office should be able to provide all of this information to you, so be sure to meet with the staff there early on in the process. Ideally, planning for study abroad should begin as early as possible in your undergraduate career so that you can plan accordingly.

Know Your Program or Host InstitutionMost students who study abroad do so

under the auspices of a formal program or a host institution overseas. Take plenty of time to examine all aspects of your program, all the way from the big picture description of the mission and purposes to the adminis-trative and logistical details. The program that you choose has likely also chosen you through an application and selection process, and therefore has deemed you an excellent candidate for overseas learning. Be sure that you understand everything about the program policies, your responsibilities, and where you can go for help if and when you need it. Study the policies and procedures regarding academic credit, grading, language requirements, code of conduct, any research, internship and/or service learning opportuni-ties, payment of program fees, financial aid and scholarships, and refunds.

Discuss Your Plans with a Study Abroad Advisor and Your Academic Advisor

Study abroad is first and foremost an aca-demic experience embedded within an inter-cultural context, and discussing how you will approach this situation will help you to get the most out of it. Discuss your study abroad plans with the education abroad professionals on your campus and your academic advisor in order to help shape how you will approach the experience. Your study abroad choice may relate directly to your major, or it might be an opportunity to fulfill general education

requirements, or explore a new academic direction. Your campus advisors can assist you in thinking about your options. Also, be sure to attend all pre-departure orientation and sessions so that you do not miss out on any essential information covering a myriad of important topics such as travel documents and arrangements, housing information, health and safety, finances, communication, host country information, and intercultural preparation. You may also find it useful to talk with other students who have returned from abroad about their experience.

Study Your Host Society, Culture and Language

You will be a guest living in another society during your time abroad, and you may plan to visit others as well. This will cause some anxiety as well as excitement as you are challenged to live beyond what is most familiar and comfortable. Your experi-ence will be most rewarding if you prepare in advance by learning as much as possible about your host society’s history and culture. Not only will your hosts appreciate your knowledge, but also you will gain a greater understanding of them and be able to develop more meaningful relationships.

Learning to speak, at whatever level pos-sible, the predominant host country language will assist you to participate more fully in daily life, connect with people, learn more, and ultimately make your experience richer and more rewarding. Invest in spending as much time as you can learning the language in order to engage your host society and culture as fully as possible.

Write Down Your Goals and Clarify your Expectations

You probably will think of many reasons for studying abroad, but may not spend enough time exploring the “why” question. The reasons for your studying abroad are likely to change during the program, and even afterwards. Many students find it use-ful to write down their study abroad goals


in order to articulate what they seek to accomplish. This process will also help to clarify your expectations, which sometimes can be unrealistic. For example, the goal of “becoming fluent” in another language after participating in a four-week program is not realistic; however, the goal of “improving language skills” is. Being realistic about what you can accomplish is as important as raising the bar and setting ambitious goals for yourself. The key is to set goals that will challenge you, but also be achievable. For this reason, it is a good idea to seek feedback from others about your goals, especially an educa-tion abroad advisor or faculty member. They will be pleased that you have asked them for feedback! Consider goals such as your gaining more knowledge about the world, enhancing your career options, exploring a new academic area/subject, and growing as an individual.

Follow Health and Safety GuidelinesThe most basic and important require-

ment for your time abroad is to be healthy and safe, just as it is on your home campus, or anywhere else. Take responsibility for your personal health and safety, and be sure that you utilize the many resources that are available to you, especially from your home institution and program sponsor. Knowing the local customs and laws is essential, as is how to get help when you need it. Be sure to inform yourself about the guidelines for your health and safety provided by your program and institution.

Manage Your Finances WiselyPlanning for and managing the financial

aspects of study abroad is challenging. As a consumer in another part of the world, you will need to adjust to a different cost of living as well as new currencies. Sticking to a budget will require you to prioritize your needs and plan carefully. Managing a budget in these circumstances also provides a daily lesson in global economics as you think about the availability (or lack) of everyday goods and services and how much they cost.

Decide on How Much Technology You Really Need

Will you want or need to tweet every day? Have internet or wireless access wherever

you are? Decide what technology you will require, and research what may or may not be available on your program and country. For some students technology offers a form of escape, and keeps them from engaging with their host culture, while for others it offers an ideal way to document and communicate their learning. You will need to decide on what technology you will need to succeed, and try to utilize it without having it become a distraction from the many opportunities to engage with the local culture.

Anticipate What It Will Be Like Being a U.S. Citizens Abroad

When you travel outside of the United States you become a different U.S. citizen, one who represents U.S. culture, politics and society as a whole. People will view you as an “American,” and you are likely to encounter the stereotypes that come along with this. You may be asked about U.S. global policies and whether or not you agree with them. To prepare, reflect on who you are as a citizen and how you will represent yourself abroad as an American.

Learn How to Learn DifferentlyStudy abroad is first and foremost an

academic experience, and likely it will be a much different one than what you have been used to on your home campus. Remember always that you are a student and not a tourist; your focus is on learning and dem-onstrating your learning, not on checking off a list of sites that you want to see. Students generally are excited by the ways that they learn abroad because of the ways in which their out-of-class experiences work hand in hand with learning. Courses you take abroad exist within an intercultural context in which the environment may become an extension of the traditional classroom. As a result, the learning will continue 24/7 as you encounter and analyze your experience along with the course material that you study. Depending on your program, you may also be challenged by a different educational system and/or new ways of teaching, interacting in the classroom, and having your work assessed. Be sure to learn about these differences and talk with returned students about their expe-riences and successful strategies for learning while abroad.

Document Your LearningWhether it be a traditional hardbound

journal notebook or a collection of your emails written to family and friends back home, choose a way to document your experiences and what you learn from them. Focus on analyzing your experience and not merely describing what happens. How well are you doing in your courses? How are you taking advantage of opportunities to engage the local culture? What have you learned about yourself? About your host society? Think of this as your ongoing assignment to yourself, the ultimate term paper that you get to grade! Years after studying abroad, alumni have described how the experience continues to inform their lives in meaning-ful ways. Documenting and assessing what you are learning will serve as a potential resource for many years after you study abroad.

Anticipate DifficultiesLeaving your familiar home environment

for a foreign one will challenge you in ways that you cannot fully anticipate. Expect to face difficulties in trying to adjust to new places and faces. Sometimes called “culture shock,” dealing with the challenges of being in a new culture can be distressing. But it helps to know that it is likely to occur at some point and that you, like most people, will get through it. Students who anticipate that difficulties will occur are the ones who will not be surprised by them, and these are the same students who are likely to manage difficult situations successfully.

Maintain Your Sense of HumorOr, cultivate it if you do not have one.

Finding the humor in challenging situations will serve you well during your time abroad. It can assist you in dealing with the daily frustrations that you will no doubt face, and help to reduce the stress that is a natural part of adjusting to a different environment. Your study abroad experience should be a serious academic undertaking; a sense of humor will help you to make the most of it.

Ask for Help When You Need ItStudying abroad may be one of the most

challenging experiences of your life that tests you in a multitude of ways. Many students

PrEPArINg TO STUDY AbrOAD


returning from abroad state that the experi-ence made them more independent and gave them more confidence in their ability to navigate complex situations on their own. At the same time, students who are successful know where to go for help when they need it. Be sure that you understand where you can turn for help when you need it, and don’t be afraid to do so. This includes knowing how to contact the local police. Be aware of what resources are available to help you if you need medical or counseling services, advice about your academic program, or your adjustment to a new culture.

Take Responsibility for Your ExperiencePerhaps the most important aspect of

your study abroad experience will be for you to be responsible and independent, to “own” your experience if you will. While it is important to know when to ask for help from others when you need it, ultimately you are responsible for how things will go. A program or host institution can provide you only with the opportunities to succeed and lend support along the way; you will

have to take it from there. The end result of the opportunities will depend on your ability to be an engaged, independent and active learner. At times this will be frustrat-ing and perhaps even seem overwhelming to you. However, by taking “ownership” of your experience abroad you will not only put yourself in a position to learn in deeper and sustained ways, but also grow more as a person.

Continue to Study Abroad After You Return Home

Students who return from abroad often express a desire to return to their study abroad site. When you return from studying abroad don’t leave your experience behind. Bring it back to campus! Enroll in courses that relate to your study abroad location, continue to follow news events related to the location where you studied, maintain contacts with people whom you may have met, read books and articles on topics about the host society and culture, continue to study the host language, join a club or organization in your community related to your host

culture, or seek out students who might be from the country that hosted you. Many students are able to draw upon their study abroad experiences in their course work and contribute to class discussions, or utilize what they learned abroad in the papers that they write, or even as a key part of a senior thesis. As with the study abroad experience itself, take responsibility for your reentry and try to make the most of it.

Your study abroad experience may also inspire you to explore further international opportunities such as graduate study abroad or in an academic area related to interna-tional, language or cultural study. You might also consider applying for awards such as a Fulbright, pursuing work with an NGO, or teaching English overseas, just to name a few of the many possible paths that study abroad might lead you to pursue. The career center or education abroad office on your campus likely has resources available to help you explore possibilities. ■

Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship ProgramThis program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, provides scholarships to American undergraduates of limited financial means to pursue overseas study from four weeks up to one year for academic credit. The program encourages students to choose non-traditional study abroad destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The Gilman Scholarship aims to support students who have been traditionally under-represented in study abroad. The program awards over 2,300 grants each year and has greatly expanded the number of grants it awards for study in China. In 2010, 152 U.S. undergraduates received awards to study in China. Scholarships granted are up to $5,000. In addition, Critical Need Language Supplements of $3,000 are available for students studying particular languages, including all Chinese dialects, for a total scholarship of $8,000.Website: www.iie.org/Gilman

Fulbright U.S. Student and Scholar ProgramsEstablished by the U.S. Congress in 1946, the Fulbright Program supports educationa l exchanges that streng then mutua l understanding among the United States and more than 155 participating countries. It is a partnership program in which the U.S. and foreign governments jointly set priorities. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State. Partner governments, corporations, foundations and academic institutions provide additional funding. In 2009, the Fulbright Scholar Program sent 23 American scholars to China as part of its core program, and an additional 9 scholars as part of the Fulbright Specialist Program, a program with shorter grant lengths designed to offer scholars and professionals greater flexibility in meeting existing professional and academic commitments. There were 51 U.S. Fulbright Students who went to China during the 2009/10 academic year.Website: fulbright.state.gov

Intensive Summer Language InstituteA program of U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program offers fully-funded group-based intensive language instruction and

structured cultural enrichment experiences for seven to ten weeks for U.S. citizen undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. students overseas in thirteen critical need foreign languages. Students of diverse disciplines and majors are encouraged to apply.Website: www.clscholarship.org

Boren Awards for International StudyThe National Security Education Program’s David L. Boren Scholarships and David L. Boren Fellowships provide unique funding opportunities for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students to add an important international and language component to their educations. The Boren Awards focus on geographic areas, languages, and fields of study that are critical to U.S. national security, broadly defined, and underrepresented in study abroad. These programs were designed to provide Americans with the resources and encouragement they need to acquire skills and experiences in areas of the world critical to the future security of our nation, in exchange for a commitment to seek work in the federal government. The Boren Awards support study and research in a variety of academic and professional disciplines in areas of the world that are critical to U.S. interests. All Boren Scholars and Fellows study a foreign language appropriate to the country in which they are studying. The Boren Awards promote long term linguistic and cultural immersion, and therefore the majority of Boren Scholars and Fellows study overseas for at least two semesters. China is the most popular destination for Boren Scholars and Fellows. In 2010, 27 undergraduate students received Boren Scholarships and 14 graduate students received Boren Fellowships to study in China.Website: www.borenawards.org

The Language FlagshipThe Language Flagship, an initiative of the National Security Education Program (NSEP), is an effort to address the urgent need for professionals with advanced competency in critical languages, offering graduate and undergraduate programs at select universities in the U.S. and abroad. A limited number of competitive Flagship Fellowships are available for U.S. graduate students to participate in one of the Graduate Flagship Programs in Arabic, Korean, Mandarin, and Persian. Language Flagship Graduate Programs consist of one year of study at a U.S. Flagship institution and one year at a designated overseas partner, culminating in a master’s degree. Fellowship


candidates must apply for and be admitted to a Graduate Flagship Program, and be interested in pursuing a career with the federal government. In exchange for this funding, Flagship Fellows commit to seek work in the federal government. In 2010, six students received Flagship Fellowships to study Chinese.Website: www.flagshipfellowships.org

Fulbright-Hays Programshe Fulbright-Hays programs, administered by the U.S. Department of Education, strengthens area and foreign language expertise among current and prospective U.S. educators by providing critical, advanced overseas study and research opportunities for area and language experts and faculty-in-training; and by offering experiences and resources enabling educators to strengthen their international teaching.Website: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/iegps/fulbright-hays.html

National Science Foundation, Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE)OISE supports programs to expand and enhance leading-edge international research and education opportunities for U.S. scientists and engineers, especially at the early career stage. It works to build and strengthen effective institutional partnerships throughout the global science and engineering research and education community, and it supports international collaborations in NSF’s priority research areas. More than twenty NSF programs are available to researchers emphasizing an international component in their proposals. The program initiates students to both Chinese language and culture and to science and technology in China. It is administered in China by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and is available in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an and Kunming. The award consists of a $5,000 stipend and up to $2,500 for international travel. Approximately 195 awards are given annually.Website: www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=OISE

Chinese Government Scholarship ProgramsIn 2010, the Chinese government provided 20,000 scholarships to international students for undergraduate, postgraduate, and Chinese language–learning programs. Detailed information on these scholarships is available at the websites of the China Scholarship Council (www.csc.edu.cn) and Hanban (www.hanban.edu.cn). The education offices of Chinese diplomatic missions abroad also offer information on scholarships for study in China.

Provincial Government Scholarship ProgramsProvinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing) provide scholarships for international students to study at higher education institutions in their region. The scholarships are managed by local education authorities and allocated to universities in the region. International students can apply for these scholarships directly from Chinese universities.

Institutional Scholarship ProgramsAll Chinese universities offer scholarships for international students, including full- and partial-tuition scholarships. The 39 universities that are part of “Project 985,” a higher education funding initiative of the Chinese government, participate in the University Postgraduate Program. Through this program, government scholarships are allocated to these universities to support international students for postgraduate study. Information on the scholarship programs and application procedures is available on the individual university websites.

Full ScholarshipsThe Chinese government provides 185 full scholarships to American students every year. Applications must be submitted through the education offices of the Chinese diplomatic missions in Washington, DC, New York, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The scholarships can support degree study at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, non-degree study in any subject, and language study. The China Scholarship Council can place students in Chinese universities according to their own wishes.

Scholarships offered through the U.S. Department of EducationChina’s Ministry of Education funds five full scholarships for candidates recommended by the U.S. Department of Education. After candidates have been recommended by the U.S. Department of Education, applications must be submitted through the Education Office of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC.

Tuition Scholarships offered through the Fulbright ProgramThe Chinese government provides up to 50 tuition scholarships every year to American students through the Fulbright Program. The Institute of International Education accepts applications for these scholarships and forwards them to the China Scholarship Council via IIE’s Beijing office.

Hanban Scholarship ProgramsAt the first meeting of the U.S.-China high-level consultation on people-to-people exchange, Chinese State Councilor Madame Liu Yandong and U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton expressed their wishes to strengthen bilateral understanding and cooperation and establish programs to support people-to-people exchange. Following the meeting, Hanban proposed the “Chinese Bridge,” an initiative to support Chinese language and culture study for American students and young people through 10,000 scholarships and financial support over the next four years. Through this initiative, each year Hanban will sponsor visits to China for 800 U.S. school principals, invite 800 U.S. secondary students to China for summer camp, and provide scholarships to American Chinese language teachers for professional development in Chinese institutions.Website: www.hanban.edu.cn

Freeman-ASIA Awards for Study in AsiaFreeman-ASIA is designed to support American undergraduates with demonstrated financial need who are planning to study overseas in East or Southeast Asia. The program’s goal is to increase the number of Americans with first-hand exposure to and understanding of Asia and its peoples and cultures. Award recipients are required to share their experiences with their home campuses or communities to encourage study abroad by others and fulfill the program’s goal of increasing understanding of Asia in the United States. From 2001 to 2009, Freeman-ASIA supported over 4,000 U.S. undergraduates from more than 600 institutions with their study abroad plans in East and Southeast Asia. With generous funding from the Freeman Foundation, IIE will re-launch the Freeman-ASIA Program for two academic years, beginning in Summer 2011.Website: www.iie.org/programs/freeman-asia

IIEPassport ResourcesIIEPassport Regional Directories To complement this IIEPassport Study Abroad in China issue, IIEPassport directories are available in four regional volumes, for study abroad programs in Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, Asia and Oceania, and Europe. Together, they are the most comprehensive resource to planning study abroad for students, as well as their parents and study abroad advisers.

About IIEPassportThe insTiTuTe of International Education has produced the print editions of IIEPassport for nearly 60 years, which in combination with the IIEPassport.org website currently list nearly 10,000 study abroad programs world-wide. IIEPassport is the premier resource for U.S. students seeking international study opportunities that meet their goals. With fresh content from Lonely Planet, this special IIEPassport Study Abroad in China issue allows students, faculty, administrators, adult learners, and parents to research study abroad programs in over 25 Chinese cities.

The IIEPassport print and web-based directories provide information about post-secondary study abroad programs open to U.S. citizens who are undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate students; adult or continuing education students; or professionals in various fields including business, education, health, and law. The majority of programs are intended for undergraduates, but IIE actively seeks informa-tion about international programs that are of interest to other categories of learners. Program sponsors include U.S. accredited colleges and universities, foreign universities, language schools, educational associations, binational agencies, and other organizations.

IIE does not attempt to review or evaluate programs listed in the directories. Inclusion of a program does not imply recommenda-tion by IIE, nor does omission imply disap-proval. Program evaluations and additional information must be requested directly from the program sponsor.

Survey MethodologyInformation contained in this magazine

is based on a survey conducted each year. Notifications inviting program updates and additions for the 2010 editions of the IIEPassport books were emailed to our pro-gram sponsors during the summer and fall of 2009. The notifications were e-mailed to more than 1,200 organizational sponsors of

programs listed in the 2009 editions, and to those organizations that contacted the IIEPassport editor requesting to be listed. Additional listings were solicited from list-servs maintained by international education professional associations around the world, and through conference networking.

IIEPassport PartnersThe Institute works with a variety of part-

ners to produce the IIEPassport directories

and iiepassport.org. The IIEPassport Print Directories are produced with special con-tent from Lonely Planet and published by Naylor, LLC, a leading provider of print and online media for associations and nonprofit organizations. IIEPassport.org is produced through a strategic partnership between IIE and EducationDynamics, a unique college-oriented marketing firm.

IIEPassport.org The print directories are complemented by an interactive web-site—www.IIEPassport.org, which enables students to search for study abroad programs by country and/or field of study. The program listings on IIEPassport include data on up to 35 fields, including location, field of study, cost, college credit availability, and eligibility for scholarships. StudyAbroadFunding.org offers students and advisers a comprehensive resource with over 500 scholarships, grants and fellowships for study abroad.

For College Advisers: How to List Your Program in IIEPassport Programs that are currently not listed in the IIEPassport Study Abroad Directories may be submitted to [email protected]. The programs will be placed online as soon as they have gone through the editorial approval process. The IIEPassport survey opens annually for program providers and requires each to review their program listings. This process ensures the integrity and quality of IIEPassport’s listings. All new programs submitted will be included in the following year’s editions of the IIEPassport print directories. There is no charge for listing your program in IIEPassport. Advertising opportunities are also available. Questions and comments may be sent to [email protected].

The information contained in this magazine—complemented by the guidance of an experienced study abroad adviser if you are currently enrolled at a college or university—can help you plan what may be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. What follows is a quick explanation of to help you use these listings:


How to Use tHese Listings

Program FormatFull listings appear for all programs for which we have either

received program sponsor updates. For all other programs, we have listed the sponsor, title, location and URL if available. All of the study abroad opportunities included in this magazine are also listed in full on our website, www.IIEPassport.org.

Bear in mind, however, that that information-gathering takes place long before these books are published—often before program arrangements are final, particularly as new political events around the world unfold. For this reason, it is a good idea to use the IIEPassport resources only as the first stop for researching programs of interest. Final and complete program information should be obtained directly from the program sponsor.

Overall OrganizationProgram entries are organized by city. In addition to specific

city listings, there is a “More Than One City” section for programs that are active in multiple cities in China. Similarly, a “Worldwide” section appears at the end of the issue, listing programs that are active in China and other world regions.

SubjectsUp to fifteen fields of study offered by the program are listed

here. Some programs provide opportunities in more than fifteen fields of study, e.g., the international student program of a foreign university. In these cases, “Full curriculum” appears as the first subject listing, to indicate the availability of a wide range of courses. Contact the sponsor for a course catalog to learn about the full range of fields of study.

EligibilityIf a program restricts eligibility, the phrase “own students only,”

or a similar phrase defining the restriction, e.g., “own students preferred,” “state residents only,” will be highlighted in bold italics. A program that does not include a highlighted restriction is open to all applicants at the appropriate academic levels from other institutions.

Level: lists the academic levels that may enroll in the program. Most programs are intended primarily for undergraduates. Many programs are also open to graduate students (grads), adult learners, precollege students (precoll), teachers and professionals. “Adults” usually refers to high school graduates who are at least 18 years of age, are often older than the typical undergraduate and are not currently enrolled in a degree program at a U.S. college. “Precollege” generally means high school graduates who have not yet entered college. “Professionals” are those actively working in a field as a career who may wish to improve their skills by international study, e.g., health professionals studying the public health systems of other nations.

The Requires: subheading lists eligibility specifications, which most typically are a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA), previ-ous study in the field, or a minimum level of language proficiency or other course prerequisite, e.g., 2 yrs coll Chinese. Since space

considerations do not allow us to describe requirements in complete detail, it is a good idea to contact the program sponsor or visit the program sponsor’s website for full information.

CreditIf a unit other than semester hours is used by the program spon-

sor to define credit, it is specified. Undergraduate credits are listed first, then graduate credits. Foreign schools and other organizations sometimes arrange to transfer credit through an accredited U.S. col-lege. When programs offer the transfer credit option, the name of the U.S. school(s) granting transfer credit is given. Remember that the award of credit by your home institution is never automatic. It must be arranged in advance. Consult your academic or study abroad adviser about receiving academic credit before you enroll in a program.

InstructionLanguage of instruction is listed first under this heading. Where

more than one language is used in teaching classes, consult the program sponsor for exact information. Foreign language courses are usually taught in the language being studied. Other courses may be taught in English or the language of the host country. For courses taught exclusively in a foreign language, be sure to determine in advance whether your level of fluency is sufficient.

CostsWe have asked sponsors to provide a package amount for par-

ticipation in the full program. This information is followed by a list of items the program fee includes: tuition, housing, all meals (where three meals per day are usually provided), most meals (fewer than three per day), some meals, international airfare (between the U.S. and the program site), health/accident insurance, fees connected with participation in the program, excursions, books and materials, rail passes and other items. Always contact the sponsor directly for the most current information in this important area.

Other InformationAll program descriptions indicate whether an accredited U.S.

college or university sponsors the program. This information is especially important for those students who need academic credit for their study abroad.

Also included is the availability of orientation (Orient:) in the U.S. and/or abroad. Additionally, many programs offer activities such as excursions, field trips, program-related travel (pgm travel), cultural events and sports. An excursion or field trip is usually local and does not involve extended time away from the program site. In contrast, program travel may last up to one month or more and involve exten-sive distances and lectures or research on distant sites.

Programs sponsored by consortia typically indicate the adminis-tering school as the primary contact. The usual rule in this situation is that students at member schools apply to their campus study abroad office, while students at nonmember schools should contact the main consortium office or the administering school.

NOTES frOM A VETErAN TrAVELEr

The Perfect Storm for Education, Travel and Career: Studying AbroadBy Robert Reid

The Tiny man with a giant mustache on the overnight bus to Delhi reached across the aisle and plucked the Sony Walkman from my hands. I was so stunned I couldn’t respond. He casually popped in a cassette and listened. Then, after sucking a half-hour’s worth of my battery life, handed it back without a word of thanks. I steamed silently as darkness fell over the desert road. But by midnight, when the tem-perature had dropped by a couple dozen degrees, the man noticed that I was the only passenger shivering without a blan-ket. He immediately stretched his over the aisle for me to share.

Ah! I learned something valuable. In places like India, objects are shared by need, not necessarily by possession. I felt a little ashamed of my initial anger and returned home with an expanded view on travel and the world—and I got the lesson the best way possible: through experience.

Studying abroad as a means to learn, to boost a résumé before a career’s really started, and to gain memorable travel experiences like these is so sure-fire it’s practically cheating. I think anyone who can take such a program, should. In them we learn from our profes-sors, make new friends in fellow students and locals, and gain as much from breaking out of the dorms to live and explore a new environment as we do from the curriculum. Studying abroad is like leaving your family to go off to university all over again—only this time you’re leaving your home country.

In any sort of travel, and especially when going abroad, we create the experiences we remember most, learn from the most, long to repeat the most, not by breezing through a landmark museum or attraction but by diving deeply and openly into local cultures—be it in Tuscany, the Mekong Delta or below Central American volcanoes. We move slowly to adapt to a local routine, make new friends and learn how familiar situations and problems in life can be settled in different ways. Travel that

doesn’t limit itself to a quick nod-and-go at the Grand Canyon, Great Wall of China or Eiffel Tower can educate and help us grow. Plus it’s more fun to stick around a place longer.

And that’s what study abroad delivers.My first study-abroad experience came

just before I graduated from journalism at the University of Oklahoma in the early 1990s. I found a University of Arizona program that offered a summer in St Petersburg and Moscow studying the Cyrillic language with professors who taught me a year’s worth of Russian in a couple of months. Occasionally my Moscow teacher would take breaks to play chess (I beat him once, and remain very proud); another invited me to take long contemplative walks around Dostoevsky’s former haunts in St Petersburg. Both are classic Russian pursuits that I wouldn’t have done back in Oklahoma.

I also met students from around the world. We’d leave the Technological Institute dorms in Moscow’s southeast to trade jeans and MTV jackets for accordions and old Soviet posters at Izmailovsky Park. We watched dubbed Julia Roberts films, bought fantastic two-cent ice cream from cardboard-box stands on sidewalks and filled pitchers with dodgy beer sold from gray trucks on backstreets. Some friendships survived the trip home. Years later, I’d be the best man at the wedding of one of the friends I met in the program.

Nearing graduation, I chose this program because it wasn’t just language but offered business internships too. The organizers arranged for me to split my Moscow days, spending mornings in class, then afternoons (and some late nights) working at Echo Moscow, a famous public-run radio station. I talked on air about things the local DJs didn’t know, mostly western rock ’n’ roll bands like Nirvana, REM and the Rolling Stones. Over 15 years later I still mention this study program in any job interview.

Education, of course, doesn’t stop after college days are done. Many people take every opportunity to take a course when abroad, such as getting certified to explore the seas by getting PADI certification at dive shops in Honduras or Thailand. I still try to mix travel and education. While living in Vietnam in the mid ’90s, I once dropped by a rec center to see if the local table tennis “champ” would give lessons. He did.

I frequently build two- or three-week trips around study-abroad programs too. I’ve had tutors in Romania, Bulgaria, Burma and Vietnam, but the most memorable were the Spanish-language schools in Mexico and Guatemala, where local schools arranged for me to stay with local families, sit at the family table for meals, and participate in their customs.

On Mother’s Day in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, the family I stayed with asked me to drive their old car around the stone-road neighborhood at 4am. We stopped often to shoot off fireworks in tiny courtyards and sing to a dozen bleary-eyed mammas with ear-to-ear smiles. This was simply better than studying at home and, in my mind, far more rewarding than taking a greatest-hits whirlwind tour around a country.

Flipping through IIE’s over 350 offerings for next year in China, I see many entic-ing experiences that appeal to all sorts of subjects, like cultural exchange at a Tibetan orphanage, or learning farming and ecology in Hangzhou. Find one that suits your major, that can give you some meat on your first résumés, and go. Something bigger than another semester around campus awaits. Like my trip to Russia—I got to see the brief overlap of Soviet remnants and the rising hopes of a new nation. I was lucky and it was the study-abroad program I signed up for that made it possible. Take the opportunity while you have it. ■
