China Banner

Living with a Chinese roommate—in a pairing based on interests and preferences—is one benefit shared by all Middlebury in Beijing students. Challenging course work and the Language Pledge round out a highly immersive program for the serious student of Mandarin Chinese.

As China's capital, Beijing is a large and vibrant city particularly marked by rapid economic growth. The city itself has grown tremendously and visitors and residents alike remark at its constant state of change and the contrast between the modern and the ancient.  It is also the center of Chinese cultural "action," and--since it is the capital--a place where politics is central.

Traveling Seminar:
Xi'anMiB takes students on a week-long traveling seminar to a different city in China (varies by semester). The goal of this seminar is to explore the globalization of China as well as the impacts of initiatives such as the One Belt One Road. Through interacting with locals, site visits, lectures, and discussions, students will consider different localities as case studies for China's political, economic, and historic globalization. This seminar is incorporated into the MiB program curriculum, and is led by MiB Beijing faculty members.
