![]() Princeton University - Princeton in Beijing NB Although PiB is hosted in China at Beijing Normal University, you apply directly to Princeton for admission. Details below: Eligibility Most PiB students are American college undergraduates who have taken at least one year of college Chinese courses by the time they attend PiB. The student body is quite diverse. About half of our students come from Princeton. The rest come from dozens of college and universities around the world. Graduate students, a few juniors and seniors in high school, and a few working professionals also apply each year. In order to apply for PiB, you must have studied the equivalent of a year's worth of college Chinese by the time you attend our program in mid-June. PiB does not accept zero beginners. Host Institution PiB's host institution, Beijing Normal University, is one of China's leading institutions of higher learning. It is recognized widely for its strong faculty and the caliber of its students. Students will live in a well-equipped dormitory on the campus with their teachers. The rooms are doubles and have air conditioning, phones, and T.V.; all have private bathrooms with a toilet and a shower. School dining facilities are located nearby, and there are dozens of restaurants and small markets just outside the campus gates. Beijing Normal University is located in the northwestern part of Beijing between the second and third ring roads, with convenient access to all parts of the city via subway, public buses, and taxis. Application Forms Application Instructions Please read these instructions carefully before filling out your application. If you are applying for financial aid from PiB, your complete application must be received by January 14, 2011. If not, the due date for applications is January 31, 2011. Late applications will only be considered on a space-available basis. Admission is competitive; please apply as soon as possible. Financial aid is limited, and we encourage you to apply to your home university for aid as well. Princeton students, please note: current Princeton freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and graduate students who want to be considered for financial aid must fill out the Program in East Asian Studies financial aid application form rather than the Princeton in Beijing financial aid application form (i.e. the application is due on January 31, not January 14). Both financial aid forms will be available in the PiB office from December. Current Princeton seniors who want to be considered for financial aid are not eligible for funding from the Program in East Asian Studies and must fill out the PiB financial aid application form instead (i.e. the deadline for seniors applying for financial aid is January 14).
