Program Description:

CET Beijing

CET Beijing


CET Beijing, in operation since 1982, has Chinese language learning down to a science. Intensive Chinese language classes are taught by outstanding, seasoned instructors. Chinese language excursions get you out the door and into the city. A full-time Chinese language pledge keeps language learning going around the clock. You'll make exceptional gains in your language skills over the course of the term. This program is open to all language levels, from beginners to heritage learners. 

Your Chinese Will Improve by Leaps and Bounds.

  • A full load of intensive, integrated Chinese language classes that cover at least one year of Chinese in a term
  • Full-time Chinese language pledge
  • Weekly excursions, Traveling Seminar, and more 
  • Capital Normal University (CNU) volunteers help students with all things related to navigating life in China and lead excursions around Beijing
  • No language prerequisite for the fall, spring and summer terms
  • The 5-week Janterm is a perfect warm up to any spring China program. It is open to students with at least 2-3 previous semesters of Chinese.
