We are a non-profit organization founded by Chinese Americans with a deep understanding of Chinese society and culture. It is our passion to help cultivate the same interest and understanding in students, while providing them with an international work and life skill set. We have been operating successful programs in China for more than 15 years and have developed an extensive network of professional and academic relationships -- the expertise from whom we pass on to you.

The PESi Global Studies - China Programs offer these distinct advantages to you:

• Our programs partner with China's top universities in two exciting mega-cities - Tsinghua University in Beijing and Fudan University in Shanghai. They are akin to the "Ivy Leagues" of China.

• Our students are instructed in English by top Chinese faculty and local professional experts who will provide you with an authentic Chinese perspective. Our students are also mentored by an American Resident Director with extensive intercultural and overseas experience, who will help them process their ongoing learning.

• Our challenging academic coursework is carefully integrated with educational excursions and community service projects. PESi also offers a two-week service project integrated with the Tsinghua course in Summer 2010. Students will acquire both theoretical understanding and practical field experience.

• We help build your cross-cultural competence and servant-leadership skills, as based on a spirit of humility -- a core value cultivated by the program.

• Unlike “island programs” where American students interact only among themselves, our students have opportunities to meet Chinese peers and other Chinese locals, as well as expatriates working in China. This will help them better understand life in China and to catch a vision for China-related or other international careers.

• With the support of our donors, as a non-profit organization, we strive to offer students the best educational values at the most affordable prices.
