Programs ask us to contact you themselves to share their prices and what's included, as tuition prices can change depending on which university you attend and international prices change quickly. This program will get back to you in the next 10 days.
We'll pass this standard application to the program. They can help you to continue the application process from there.
Worlds away from Beijing, the far-western province of Xinjiang is a land where vast desert basins meet 20,000-foot peaks; where Central Asian cultures blend and exist in stark contrast to the China of the East.

Amidst Asia's most striking landscapes, we survey a huge diversity of ethnic customs and religious traditions: those of Uyghur, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Tajik, Mongour, Tibetan, and Han communities. In the oasis city of Kashgar, not far from China's shared borders with several Central Asian Islamic states, we explore bazaars, mosques, and the world's largest outdoor market. We ascend high into the Pamir Mountain range, enjoying the phenomenal beauty of this seldom visited section of the Himalayas. We explore the Tarim Basin, the ancient ruins of Turpan, and the painted caves of Dunhuang, which archive centuries of sculpted Buddha images and unparalleled Buddhist art. At Kanas Lake we trek from Mongolian encampments deep into the Altai region, and as we traverse the Tibetan Plateau we camp beside Tibetan nomads and their yaks. Concluding in Beijing, we venture to the Great Wall, visit the city's various cultural and historic monuments, become more acquainted with contemporary Han Chinese society, and consider the great influences carried by the caravans of the Silk Road.
