We are made up of Chinese and American educators who believe in the long term value of relationships formed between American students and their Chinese counterparts. Founded by former professors and administrators from the University of Arizona, the focus of YISA is to improve U.S.-China relations by educating American and Chinese students with an in-depth understanding of each other's culture, society, economy, government, and language.

Studying with YISA will open doors for you - doors into your own way of relating to the world, doors into unique academic opportunities, and doors into professional possibilities that you may not even see before going to China. We want to help you explore all of these pathways to personal growth, and to give you the support in China to allow you to reach your highest potential as an international student.

In addition to an intensive Chinese language program, YISA offers courses in Political Science, Public Administration, and Communication that are taught in English. With direct credit guaranteed by one of our American university partners, you can continue making progress on your degree while gaining a first-hand experience living in downtown Nanjing. Less
