Program
Description:
The China Plus Tibet Cultural History Tour is a 20 or 26
day tour that begins in Shanghai and ends in Xian or Lhasa, Tibet.
It is a completely unique approach to university study abroad.
It combines a tour of major cultural and historical sites in China
and Tibet with intense academic study of the culture and history
being experienced.
The
China Plus Tibet 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, and Tibet. 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 "CULTURAL HISTORY TOURS" ARE ALSO AVAILABLE:
A Vietnam-Cambodia-Thailand Tour: a 20 day tour traveling
to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Saigon, Siem Reap, Angkor, and Bangkok;
and an Asian Cultural History Tour: a 45 day tour traveling
to Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hue, Saigon, Siem Reap, Angkor, Bangkok,
Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shaolin, Beijing, Xian, and Lhasa.
All Cultural History Tours offer courses and credit in history
and other major disciplines.
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 Plus
Tibet Cultural History Tour we allow time in major cities such
as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shaolin, Beijing, Xian,
and Lhasa 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 Plus Tibet 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
Plus Tibet 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,
Vietnam, Tibet, and other parts of Asia. In planning itineraries,
we rely on our staff's thorough knowledge of Asian culture acquired
through extensive travel and study.
