Program
Description:
The China-Tibet Cultural History Tour is a 41 day program traveling
to Shanghai, Nanjing, Luoyang, Xian, Beijing, and Lhasa, Tibet.
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
is based on many years of experience with Asian and China 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 China
Cultural History Tour (CCHT) is a 30 day tour that
begins in Shanghai and ends in Beijing. All Cultural History Tours
offer courses and credit in history and other major disciplines.
China-Tibet 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-Tibet Cultural
History Tour we allow time in major cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing,
Luoyang, Xian, Beijing, 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-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-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,
and Asia. In planning itineraries, we rely on our staff's thorough
knowledge of Asian culture acquired through extensive travel and
study.
