Program
Description:
The China Cultural History Tour (CCHT) is a 30 day tour that begins
in Shanghai and ends in Hong Kong. It is a completely unique approach
to university study abroad. It combines a tour of major cultural
and historical sites in China with intense academic study of the
culture and history being experienced. It's an ideal learning
environment since it combines a tour of major cultural and historical
sites in China with intense academic study of the culture and
history being experienced.
The
China Cultural History Tour is based on many years of experience
with Asian Cultural History tours. Thus, the faculty and staff
have a great deal of experience traveling in China. It's an ideal
learning environment because it integrates reading and writing
with direct involvement to give a richer understanding of the
subject than book learning alone could possibly provide.
OTHER PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE: The
Vietnam-Thailand Cultural History Tour is a 30 day program
traveling to Hong Kong, Hanoi, Hue, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City,
Bangkok, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samet and a China,
Vietnam, Thailand program which is a combination of the
China Tour with the Vietnam-Thailand tour. All Cultural History
Tours offer courses and credit in history and other major disciplines.
China
Cultural History Tour Advantages:
The
emphasis is on culture
Our tours are designed to involve students in varied cultural
experiences in key cultural centers. On the China Cultural History
Tour we allow time in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing,
Luoyang, Xian, Changsha, Yangshuo, and Hong Kong to enable students
to further explore for themselves the cultural environment of
these great cities. Cultural performances are included in the
program fee as well as museum tickets and visits to sites. The
academic emphasis provides a coherent context for site visits
and activities.
You
get college credit
Students
on the program may earn up to 6 credit hours of Eastern Michigan
University credit. Students should consult with the EMU study
abroad adviser or their academic adviser to assess how this credit
will fit into their academic program.
The
tour is university sponsored.
Since the China Cultural History Tour is sponsored by Eastern
Michigan University, it costs less than comparable commercial
tours while providing college credit.
Our
staff is top quality
All
faculty members on the China Cultural History Tour hold Ph.D.s
or M.F.A.s from leading universities. The faculty consists of
widely traveled university professors.
We're
experienced
During the last 28 years, our staff has conducted 143 successful
tours to Western and Eastern Europe, Russia, Israel, Egypt, China
and Asia. In planning itineraries, we rely on our staff's thorough
knowledge of Asian culture acquired through extensive travel and
