Program Summary

The University of Chicago fosters a community of thinkers who ask tough questions and embrace new ideas. This summer, learn, explore, do, and become more. A center for intellectual innovation, the undergraduate College at the University of Chicago is ranked 4th in the US and 9th in the world. Now students in China and India can experience what it is like to be a part of our community without leaving home, by attending a summer program led by University of Chicago faculty at the University’s Centers in Beijing or Delhi.

This two-week intensive onsite program will offer students the opportunity to hone their critical thinking, reading, writing, and discussion skills that are essential parts of a U.S. liberal arts education. These skills are embodied in the famous General Education Core sequences in the College at the University of Chicago: small group discussions that encourage wide-ranging conversations across cultures and time periods, tackling big
problems and fundamental questions in the University’s unique interdisciplinary style.

Program Benefits:

• Experience what it means to attend a competitive undergraduate college or university
• A certificate of completion and grade report that you can refer to when applying to any U.S. or global university
• Online information session for program participants conducted by University of Chicago College Admissions, offering valuable insight into the U.S. college admissions process

Only one course will be offered at each of the Centers, with limited enrollment to ensure the best possible experience for the program participants. We encourage students to apply to join our global community this summer!
