Description:
| How does a city get ready to host the most prestigious sporting event in the world? Find out in Beijing, China, as it prepares to host the 2008 Olympic Games.
You’ll be based at Beijing University of Physical Education, where you’ll interact with leading Chinese faculty, national coaches, athletes, and college students as you study sports science, sports management and sports medicine. Other classroom experiences will include visits to Wuhan Institute of Physical Education (aquatic sports), Shenyang Institute of Physical Education (sport management, and track and field), Dalian Technical University (sport science and soccer)—all of which are involved in the 2008 Games. You’ll also visit future Olympic venue sites.
Even as you study how China is moving forward in its effort to sponsor and host major national and international athletic programs, you’ll also have the chance to study traditional Chinese exercise and sport—Tai Chi, Wu Shu and martial arts (with the use of implements).
Your studies will be complemented by domestic travel and visits to historical, cultural and scenic areas including:
Great Wall (Badaling)
Temple of Heaven
Forbidden City
Summer Palace
Tianamen Square
Dalian Silver Lake (Wuhan)
Yellow Crane Towers
Three Gorges
Yellow Mountain
Whether you’re interested in traditional eastern cultural/physical art forms, East Asian studies, or sports science/sports management programs on an international scale, Winter Session in Beijing is your chance to experience China as it preserves its sporting past and prepares to step onto the Olympic stage.
