Student Feedback

“Embrace every single moment of your experience because it will change your life in so many positive ways!”
"Try to interact with the local students as much as possible.They are really friendly and willing to show you around."
"The classes were a lot smaller and more intimate. There was more hands-on activities such as excursions to learn about Chinese medicine and acupuncture. There was a greater sense of community within the classes. And of course, the topics and viewpoints were different."

Academic Information
Course Information

Peking University summer program is divided into two programs. Program information is below. (6 credits required)

Program: PKUSSI

Courses are scheduled in sessions: A, B, AB

In order to satisfy Stony Brook University degree requirements, courses must be 3 credits. The courses are divided into three levels: General; Advanced; and Frontier, and split between three sessions: Session A; Session B and Session A&B. Each student may only choose courses from within one level and cross sessions, provided the times do not clash.

It is possible to satisfy degree requirements by enrolling in two 2 credit courses evaluated as the same SBC category. For example Classic Chinese Poetry may be combined with Chinese Folklore and Culture to satisfy the HFA+ requirement. So a student will earn 4 credits to satisfy the SBC requirement.

Each course has a limited number of places. To ensure your students are able to choose their desired course, we strongly recommend submitting your application as soon as possible.
