The Consortium sponsors Chinese programs in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Taipei for the duration of one summer, one semester, or one year. Tufts is also a member of the Chinese-Studies Cooperative Program administered by U. Mass (Amherst), with year-long programs in Xian and Taichung. Students interested in other Chinese-studies programs in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore can also obtain help from our Program in Chinese. For more information contact Dr. Mingquan Wang, Olin 312 or other members of the Program in Chinese.

Japan

The Tufts-in-Japan Program. Tufts now has its own study abroad program, in which our students are strongly encouraged to participate. Credits are automatically transferred, and Tufts scholarship money can be used. There are two options. Tufts-in-Kyoto reserves space for one or two outstanding Tufts students to spend one year at Kyoto University. Two semesters of Japanese and a high GPA are required. One scholarship will be given (Japanese nationals can apply but cannot receive a scholarship). For the Tufts-in Kanazawa option, as many as six Tufts students may go, with scholarships from the Japanese Ministry of Education guaranteed for at least two students. Three semesters of Japanese are required. For more information, contact Charles Inouye (Olin 306).
