UChicago Arts and Sciences Summer In Asia

Begins July 18 through July 29, 2016

The University of Chicago Center in Beijing
20th floor, Culture Plaza
No. 59A Zhong Guan Cun Street
Haidian District Beijing 100872

This 2-week intensive onsite program offered students the opportunity to hone their critical thinking, reading, writing, and discussion skills that are essential parts of an education at selective U.S. universities and colleges. 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. Academically ambitious high school students in China and India will have the opportunity to experience this type of intellectual engagement without leaving home through the UChicago Arts and Sciences Summer in Asia, a program led by an interdisciplinary pairing of University of Chicago faculty and graduate student instructors on the campus of the Mallya Aditi International School in Bangalore and at the University of Chicago Center in Beijing.
