MASTER'S PROGRAM

Gain a competitive-edge from the only truly joint target-language US-China graduate school of its kind by developing expertise on diverse facets of Sino-Global commercial, academic, economic, and political relations. The two-year Master of Arts in International Studies is the only master's degree fully accredited in both China and the United States. Non-Chinese students complete coursework and a thesis in Chinese, culminating in a degree jointly awarded by Johns Hopkins SAIS and Nanjing University.

The one-year Certificate in Chinese and American Studies, often referred to as the "HNC Certificate," features coursework and research combining areas of politics, economics, or China studies, amid a variety of approaches to important questions about China and the world. Our shared residential community and target-language curriculum deepens cultural ties and creates individuals who are both bilingual and at home in two cultures. Together students live, study, and debate the most important issues facing China and the world.
