About the Program

*For Stony Brook University Students Only

Please note: This program is currently paused and will not be accepting applications until further notice.

SBU partner programs in China are designed for language/cultural immersion studies. Our colleagues have shared that there might be courses in regular subjects as options, but may be limited.

Any courses in regular academic subjects that our students might gain access to would be instructed in Chinese and students must prove that they have an HSK (Chinese Language) exam result of 6 or higher. Courses instructed in English are limited and enrollment to specific courses is not guaranteed so students must have a flexible study plan. Students should not hold Chinese citizenship and in general must have at least 1-2 semesters of Chinese language learning completed at the point of application. Since direct enrollment into their regular courses is not facilitated or guaranteed, students should plan to study Chinese language and topics such as Chinese history and culture.
