Beijing Institute of Asian Studies | China

Established by American University in Washington, D.C., the Beijing Program has been in China since 1985. Still maintaining a strong institutional affiliation with AU, the program began to operate independently accepting students from other universities in the fall of 2004. Our host institution, Peking University is the most prestigious academic institution in China. The program is affiliated directly with its academic units, the School of International Studies and the History Department where American students interact with China's best students. In the fall semester, our students study side by side with Chinese students in the same classes.
