This unique dual-country program, launched in fall 2004, offers students the opportunity to live and study in both China and Japan over the course of 15 weeks. The program begins in Beijing, the modern capital of the People's Republic of China, with seven weeks of classes at the prestigious Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU). Students will study Chinese culture with local faculty, take on course taught by an accompanying NCC faculty member, and complete the equivalent of Chinese 101 or higher, depending on their level of proficiency. In the second half of the fall term, students move to Kyoto, ancient capital of Japan, to complete their studies at the university in the area. They will continue in the course taught by the NCC professor, begin or continue the study of Japanese (completing at least the equivalent of Japanese 101), review Chinese language, and enroll in a course about Japanese culture taught by local faculty.


Students will be housed on campus in China and off campus in Japan. Meals will be provided in dining halls at BFSU; students live in self-catered apartments in Japan.
