The Beijing Center is a program provider offering 3 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad, Internship, Volunteer, and Intensive Language abroad programs in 1 country such as China.
The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies (TBC) provides a unique environment for undergraduate students and scholars from all over the world to begin their engagement with China. Our mission is to promote mutual understanding between China and other cultures. What makes us unique is our placement in a long and storied tradition of Jesuit education, one that teaches us that true cultural engagement starts first with friendship.
Study Abroad with The Beijing Center
"A better understanding of an influential nation and myself. Yes, it was very worthwhile."
Gabriel M Loyola University Chicago
"Besides just my improved language skills, I go a much more indepth vision of the Chinese culure and system of governance.

A student Loyola University Chicago

"I learned about a whole other culture that I knew very little about and I learned that despite all our differences we are all people who want the same things life, love, family, companionship, safety, etc. I also learned a lot about myself and the challenges that I am able to overcome if I put myself to the test. "
Jason O Loyola University Chicago
"There is no better gift that you can give yourself than the chance to experience living in a different country for an extended period of time.

"How to handle myself in another country"
Sean O Fordham University
"My time abroad helped me to grow in ways I never thought I would be able to. Going into the program I was pretty shy and I was interested in traveling, but nervous. Coming home from the program I was open to try new foods, new experiences, do things that once scared me, and I was much more willing to speak out. I grew in confide..."

Shannon M Fordham University
"I learned a lot more of the language, the local culture, and the country's people. It was completely worthwhile, because I was challenged in countless ways just in order to make a life there, but I wouldn't have changed it for anything. "

"A humbling perspective on different people that translated to a gain in humility in myself. Definitely worthwhile."
Tim L Fordham University
"So much. Amongst many other things, I gained a greater appreciation for difference of people and culture, and of the openness of myself and others. Also, a greater appreciation for language. My experiences abroad in China were definitely worthwhile and if I could, I would definitely do it again. "
A student Fordham University
"I was gone for a year. I'm still processing what I learned. But I know, no matter what, it was worthwhile. Everyone should study abroad. I've never done anything so challenging and eye opening."
A student Fordham University
