CAN I AFFORD TO STUDY ABROAD IN CHINA DURING MY UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES?

YES YOU CAN!

TBC works closely with your home university regarding program tuition and financial aid. As is the case with all U.S. Federal Aid, it will carry with you to any U.S. accredited institution (that’s us!). Additionally we have made agreements with many universities worldwide so that your university financial aid will transfer as well. Many students find that the housing and living costs in Beijing are significantly less than a semester on their home campus. For more information about Tuition, Financial Aid, and Scholarships visit our Admission page.

My time at TBC gave me the opportunity to truly observe 21st-century China. The Chinese nation is filled with a confidence & ambition that is infectious. It never ceases to amaze me how different China is from the image we see in the West.

All our students had great experiences w/ TBC and transcripts were sent back to our office so the transfer of courses went smoothly...TBC offers great cultural & academic opportunities for students to learn along with chances to challenge themselves.

This country is so beyond beautiful. The biggest lesson that TBC taught me is that only through thoroughly developing an understanding of Chinese culture and society can Western nations offer a helping hand in the looming environmental crises.
