Notes:

The Harbin program is suited for advanced Chinese learners who are up for true immersion into an environment with few English-speaking foreigners. Now an industrial center, Harbin was built largely by Russians in the early 20th century. Harbin's architecture reflects that history, and a number of Russian-style buildings still remain.Students abide by a full-time language pledge and explore Harbin, a location chosen for its standard Mandarin, with Chinese roommates. The curriculum includes one-on-two drill classes, small group electives and student-designed independent study classes.

The program is hosted by the Harbin Institute of Technology and students live student housing on campus with Chinese roommates.
