The China Studies Institute (CSI) is a multidisciplinary professional development institute focused on helping participants integrate Chinese studies into global learning opportunities on their campuses.

The 2025 CSI program, hosted in China between July 8-21, 2025, is tailored to concentrate on academic exchanges and partnership opportunities with institutions in China. Over the course of the two-week program, participants will explore the latest trends in student mobility among Chinese students. The agenda will provide an in-depth understanding of the changing policies and regulations in China and the increasing opportunities for American students interested in studying there. Additionally, the program will facilitate dialogue and collaboration between leaders from Chinese institutions and participants through various activities.
