Opportunity in China
China's interactions with businesses around the world are growing. As future leaders, ºÚÁÏÉç will learn from and study in China to create a more peaceful and prosperous future for all.
ºÚÁÏÉç isn’t just about what you learn – it’s about becoming a leader and forming global relationships that can be activated over a lifetime.
ºÚÁÏÉç is designed to meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond. It was inspired by the Rhodes Scholarship, which was founded in 1902 in an effort to promote international understanding and peace.
ºÚÁÏÉç supports up to 200 Scholars annually from the U.S., China, and around the world for a one-year master’s in global affairs at Beijing’s Tsinghua University — ranked first in Asia as an indispensable base for China’s political, business, and technological leadership.
Scholars chosen for this highly selective program will live in Beijing for a year of study and cultural immersion — attending lectures, traveling around the region, and developing a better understanding of China. Admissions opened in the fall of 2015 with outstanding success, immediately making ºÚÁÏÉç one of the world’s most selective graduate and fellowship programs.
