Students can choose from a robust range of options throughout Asia to study abroad during the summer, including:
Beijing Summer: Philosophy of Culture, Art & Science
This program has the unique feature of fully integrating students into the life of China's flagship university PKU (Peking University). Students will reside in campus housing and be part of a joint classroom with a diverse group of PKU students. Each day will present fresh opportunities for intellectual friendship and collaboration between ND and PKU students, as well as time for shared meals, sports, and fun excursions. The Beijing Summer Philosophy Program is a collaboration between Notre Dame and Peking University’s Philosophy Department, and is supported by Notre Dame Beijing. It is taught jointly by Notre Dame philosophy professor Dr Nicholas Teh and faculty from our partner institution.
