William D. Weir Honors Fellows in Asian Studies

William D. Weir Honors Fellows in Asian Studies spend the Spring semester in Beijing for intensive language study at the CET Chinese Language Center (12-18 credits) and then complete an eight-week summer internship (6 credits) in Shanghai exploring careers in fields such as banking, law, journalism, public health, and historic preservation.

The program is designed for students who are interested in developing advanced, working language skills in China. Up to three fellowships are awarded annually. Students contribute one semester’s tuition and the fellowship covers all other program expenses.
