SU Beijing

Whatever you do after you graduate from college, China will be a factor, either directly or indirectly. By taking on the challenge of understanding China today, you can create new opportunities for tomorrow. SU Beijing is located at one of China’s most distinguished universities, Tsinghua University. Beijing is not only China’s political capital, but also a global center for business and culture. The program provides a platform to learn about a country with thousands of years of history and the chance to witness the transformation of a society at a speed and scale unprecedented in history. 

SU Hong Kong

With its mixture of Western and Eastern values, culture, and traditions, Hong Kong is an ideal gateway to China and all of Asia. Syracuse University's Hong Kong program, based at City University of Hong Kong, offers you the opportunity to study the political economies, business, and cultures of East Asia at a pivotal moment in the region's history. As Hong Kong continues to change as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China, students not only study but also have the opportunity for field study and internships.
