About Program

As the political, educational, and cultural hub of China, Beijing holds a commanding position as the capital of the world’s most populous country. The city’s 3,000 years of history underpin its significance as the birthplace of modern-day Mandarin language.

The Alliance program center is located on the campus of Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU). The Intensive Chinese Language program requires 20 hours of full-immersion language instruction per week, a homestay, and a language pledge, so you make rapid gains in your language skills. A week-long field study trip outside of Beijing will allow you to explore China’s social, economic, and geographic diversity.

Great Semester Across The World

Feb 9, 2015

Spring 2014 was a completely life-changing experience for me, as I studied in Beijing, China with the Alliance's Intensive Chinese Language Program. I had already taken 4 semesters of Chinese language before my study abroad experience, and my one semester in Beijing was more informative than all four semesters back home, by far! Excursions and other trips around the country rounded out an awesome program put on by the Alliance.

What would you improve about this program?
Sometimes communicating with teachers and my RD were frustrating with my language pledge, but that grew better as my language skills increased.
