Study-abroad programs After completing one year's worth of Chinese courses, students may choose to further their Chinese studies in China. Presently, the University at Buffalo offers exchange programs with the Capital Normal University and the Beijing Polytechnic University in Beijing, China. Both graduate and undergraduate students can enroll in these universities' intensive Chinese language programs and earn UB credits. Beginning summer 2005, students may opt to study in China for a full semester or to participate in a six-week summer program. Most participant students find ways and financial support to go back to China for further studies.
