Tufts in China

The Tufts-in-China Program, which began in 2002, is based in Hangzhou, China, at Zhejiang University, one of the top seven universities in China. Tufts in China has four major components of the program which complement one another: intensive language training; culture courses taught in English; exploring China through traveling and studying; and volunteer and internship opportunities, which allow students to experience Chinese society as active participants.
Outcomes: 
While in Hangzhou, students will take intensive Chinese language courses (three and a half credits per semester). A limited number of culture courses taught in English will also be available. Students will live in single rooms in the new foreign students’ dormitory. In addition to activities and excursions organized by the resident director of Tufts in China, the International College of Zhejiang University organizes parties, singing contests, sports (soccer, table-tennis, badminton, billiards, darts), photo exhibits, Chinese cooking lessons, visits to museums, and short trips to important sites in the area.
