You’ll not find many study abroad programs like this one. It’s designed to expose students to the rich complexity of modern China and to teach students how to report and publish sophisticated stories from the road, using the latest in media technologies. The program is a classroom without walls. The road serves as the students’ classroom.They journey across the Chinese heartland along the fabled Silk Road. Students will discover for themselves the rich diversity of peoples and cultures - from ancient Han capital of X'ian in the East to the desert of Dunhuang in the West - that constitute modern China. At night, distinguished Chinese and American professors explain what students have seen and heard. Students then combine these lessons with what they’ve seen and heard to periodically file multimedia accounts of their journey from the road.
