Beijing
CIEE Environmental, Cultural + Economic Sustainability Program in Beijing, China
Come gain critical insight into the field of sustainability in contemporary China. Given the country’s continued urban growth, China is an ideal site to explore the impact of such development on resources and environmental quality, both within cities and the surrounding areas.

Through coursework, experiential learning, and independent research, you’ll use Beijing and rural sites as a laboratory for understanding emerging topics in the field of sustainability studies. 

Study abroad in Beijing and you will:logo
  • Gain a critical understanding of sustainability and its relevance within the context of China and the larger global context
  • Choose non-intensive Mandarin Chinese language study, without language prerequisites, or choose to not study language and focus entirely on area studies coursework
  • Learn about critical environmental, sociocultural and economic issues in contemporary China through social science coursework, interactive seminars, guided fieldwork, and extended community stays
  • Participate in two trips, including a 10-day field study, and experience the daily lives of rural and minority peoples in China
  • Be part of a highly acclaimed, multicultural campus community that has the feel of a small liberal arts college
