• Minds Abroad   is a U.S.-based organization that conducts faculty-led, cultural immersion programs in China. Focusing on Chinese language programs and culture immersion, Minds Abroad provides a hands-on understanding by putting students in real-life contexts.
  Our programs are flexible and year-round. These programs are a balanced combination of language classes, cultural activities, academic excursions and experiential learning in form of internships at area businesses, volunteer placements in non-profits and language exchange activities with local students. As a part of our faculty-led programs, we accommodate students with local homestay families so that students have an all-encompassing cultural experience. The above components of our programs can be tweaked according to the requirements and budget of the faculty-led groups.
  Because of the way our programs engage students with local communities, Minds Abroad was named a “Top Ten Best Practices Program” by the Center for Citizen Diplomacy in conjunction with the U.S. State Department.
