Peking University–Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program

Established in 2006, the Peking University–Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program in Beijing provides Yale students the unique opportunity to study and live with Chinese students on the Peking University campus. The program is open to Yale College sophomores, juniors, and, in some cases, first-term seniors, and to Peking University Yuanpei College students. The program accepts students from all majors for the fall or spring term or for the academic year. A term at Peking University carries full Yale course credit and counts as a term of enrollment. No prior Chinese language knowledge is necessary for Yale participants, although each student is required to take a Chinese language course at the appropriate level while in the program. All other courses, in a variety of disciplines, are taught in English by Yale and Peking University faculty members. Students from both universities live as roommates in a residence hall centrally located on the Peking University campus. Further information is available on the program's Web site.
