China Studies at Georgetown
China's Expanding Space on the Hilltop
In conjunction with the University's broader outreach with universities in China, Asian Studies at Georgetown has sought to build exciting new curricular choices for students and new China programs for the University community and for the wider Washington area.
Georgetown has built exciting new choices for students of China
Students may earn the transcript certification in Asian Studies (undergraduate certificate and graduate certificate) with courses on China from a variety of disciplines and multidisciplinary majors including international relations, science and technology, history, government, economics, anthropology and more.
Students work with some of the country’s most prominent China scholars including Carol Benedict, Joanna Lewis, James Millward, Howard Spendelow, James Reardon-Anderson, Robert Sutter, and Nancy Bernkopf Tucker. Asian Studies cooperates with different universities in China and with Georgetown’s China office at Fudan University through study abroad programs.
The China Speaker Series is our flagship speaker program and has hosted widely attended talks by scholars, policymakers, and media personalities. Past guests to the Hilltop have included top scholars on topics such as journalism in China, Confucian democracy, Xinjiang, the politics of the Beijing Olympics, and climate change. Other guests have included the longest serving American ambassador to China, and the senior White House advisor on China. Asian Studies offers a visiting fellows program for scholars from China and works actively with Chinese student organizations on campus.
