IES (Institute for the International Education of Students) The IES Beijing Summer Program offers intensive beginner, intermediate, and advanced intermediate level Chinese language study. Though Mandarin Chinese, the national language, is spoken in some form by the majority of the population, the form of Mandarin spoken in Chengde and Beijing is considered the standard. Therefore, these are ideal locations for learning correct pronunciation. Students can practice on the streets and in the shops as well as in the classroom.
Overview The first four weeks of this unique program are spent in Chengde, the Imperial Summer Retreat of the Qing dynasty (Manchus) located about 150 km northeast of Beijing. This city--with its Qing period architecture--is an excellent, friendly setting for students to study Mandarin in the classroom and then practice their acquired vocabulary with local citizens in the shops and markets. Students often bike to the temples and around town and find Chengde much cooler than Beijing, due to its higher elevation. The second four weeks of the program are held on the campus of the Beijing Foreign Studies University, commonly known as Bei Wai. The ancient and modern lie side by side in Beijing, making it the ideal place to explore the dynamics of contrast and change during the second half of the program.
Setting Beijing is a city of contrasts - a modern Asian boom-town that strives to preserve the cultural landscape of its glorious past. IES Beijing students are exposed to a variety of regional variations of Mandarin Chinese as well as to the current events shaping modern China.

State University of New York (SUNY) The State University of New York (SUNY) currently offers more than 400 overseas study programs in more than 50 countries: in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Programs range from 2-3 week intensive courses to a semester or academic year abroad. Courses are available in more than 100 subjects, ranging alphabetically from aboriginal studies and aerospace engineering to western philosophy and women's studies. While many programs focus on language learning and are conducted in the language of the host country, many others are conducted wholly or partly in English.
Overview The State University of New York overseas study programs are, with some exceptions, open to all SUNY and non-SUNY students, with eligibility ranging from first year to graduate level. For many undergraduates, the best time to study abroad has traditionally been during the junior year; however, well-prepared sophomores, and occasionally freshmen, are eligible for some programs. For everyone, careful preparation and consultation with the campus Director of International Education are essential for determining where and when to go. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of the SUNY campuses for additional assistance.
Setting Study abroad can be one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences in a college student's career. Getting to know another culture, living in a new environment, learning a new language, meeting people: all these add up to a kind of education different from what can be acquired on campus. Equally important for American students is the discovery of their own country, its customs, its traditions and values, as they come to see it from a foreign vantage point. No wonder that so many returnees from overseas study say that the experience changed their lives.
Students learn well and mature quickly when studying in a different culture. And as all regions of the world become more interdependent, it is increasingly apparent that the truly educated person is one who has had first hand acquaintance with other cultures, both as preparation for responsible citizenship and, in a more practical way, as a basis for a career. In the words of former Senator J. William Fulbright, author of the Fulbright exchange program, "perhaps the greatest power of educational exchange is the power to convert nations into peoples and to translate ideologies into human aspirations".Value Total expenses are competitive with other highly-rated study abroad programs in public and private universities across the country. Program costs are usually only slightly higher than on-campus costs of tuition, room and board (exclusive of international air fare) and in some countries expenses are actually less than they would be on campus. Study abroad students pay SUNY tuition (in-state or out-of-state, depending upon New York State residency) plus costs, which vary from program to program. Matriculated students at a State University of New York campus register on their home campus for programs offered at any other campus. They are thus able to maintain residency and eligibility for financial aid. (NOTE: Upper-division students registering at community colleges for overseas programs should consult with their registrar's office about appropriate credit.)
Most financial aid can be applied to overseas study, with the exception of some program costs and fees. For specific information students should consult the campus financial aid officer and the Director of International Education.E-mail To:studyabroad@suny.edu
