Arcadia University Study Abroad Programs in China
The Alliance for Global Education (formed through a partnership of Arcadia and Butler University's Study Abroad Offices) offers 5 unique and life changing programs in China. Globalization Then and Now: Xi'an and the Silk Road is an exhilarating program that takes you out through a series of destinations, far away from the westernized Beijing or Shanghai. Chinese language skills will be put to the test, as most people encountered do not speak English, but students get a firsthand look at various breathtaking sights of China, all with differing cultures.
There are also programs available in Shanghai and Beijing for those who want a more western feel during their visit to China. Study international business, intensive Chinese language, contemporary Chinese culture and more. Check out the Arcadia University website today!

The College of Global Studies will strive to uphold Arcadia University's mission to prepare residential students, as well as international students, for life and service in a global and dynamic society.



















I studied at Beijing Language and Culture University in Spring 2011 with the Alliance for Global Education, and it was the best semester of my college career, and far more challenging, meaningful, and immersive than other programs in China students from my university have attended. I increased the level of my language skills by more than a year of American schooling and have no difficulty keeping up in my current Chinese class. I had the opportunity to do an internship in Beijing, and spent ten days traveling with the rest of my program in southern China as well as a week traveling independently along China's eastern coast. Amazing native/local staff, demanding professors in language courses, really nice dorm living, plenty of travel and sightseeing advice and opportunity.
