Students do not take courses in English or participate in the Capstone Project. Students participate a wide range of activities as well as the Field Study Trip with students in Track 1. Prerequisite: Students in the Intensive Language Track must have completed two semesters of prior Chinese Language study.

The Alliance has been chosen to administer two of the U.S. Department of State's Critical Languages Scholarship (CLS) sites in China. Students who are awarded the full scholarship will study intensive Chinese in Summer 2010 at Fudan University in Shanghai or the Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) in Beijing. Classes will be offered at the intermediate or advanced level.  During the 8-week program, students will enroll in 20 hours per week of Chinese language, live with Chinese roommates (Shanghai) or host families (Beijing), have a peer language tutor, and participate in organized activities and excursions. All program fees, round-trip air travel, meals, activities and excursions will be covered by the scholarship.  For more information please visit https://clscholarship.org/home.php.  Students who are not awarded the CLS scholarship may still apply for the Alliance scholarship.
