Explore Beijing

This course abroad program is designed to benefit students two-fold. Program participants will attend seven lectures and tour five of the best libraries in Beijing over the span of two weeks. This hands-on approach is meant to give students a Chinese perspective on international digital librarianship. Not only will students be surrounded and exposed to some of the world's leading technology in the field, but they will also have the opportunity to visit some of the world's most magnificent places. The class will be taking trips to Tian An Men Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Temple of Heaven just to name a few. Furthermore, the two-week program will be held two months before the commencement of the Beijing Summer Olympics. Tension and excitement have been building for the past few years, with official Olympic countdowns strategically placed around the city to remind everyone exactly how much time (to the second) remains until the Opening Ceremony begins. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime trip to see China and earn 3 graduate level credits from Southern Connecticut State University.
