Chinese Study and Culture Tour // Asian Affairs Center

Chongqing Technology and Business University, one of MU’s partners in China, hosts an annual Study and Culture Tour in Chongqing. Experience Chinese culture and life with Chinese friends and professors while also meeting college students from around the globe. You can:

Learn or brush up on Mandarin
Engage locally through art, tea ceremonies and visits to local homes
Interact with Chinese university students
See Chinese life up close on field trips

Led by the Asian Affairs Center, this is a unique chance to visit China and gain global knowledge. There is no cost for classes, housing, field trips and special activities. You are responsible for your airfare, meals and incidentals.

Students in matching red shirts gather around a guide in a parking lot with a suspension bridge and skyscrapers in the background.

Five students sit on small stools at a low table on the sidewalk near a food stand and eat traditional Chinese food.

A smiling student crosses a high bridge suspended by chains across a river in the forest.

Program cost

Through a special partnership with CTBU, all classes, activities, housing and program transportation are free of charge for MU students or recent graduates. Airfare, meals and incidentals (shopping, going out, etc.) are your responsibility. Most people spend approximately $50 per week on dining out. Eating on or near campus typically costs $2–$5 per meal; going out to Western-style restaurants will be more expensive.
