US-China Institute

The U.S.–China Institute at Bryant University forges academic, business, and cultural partnerships between Bryant University and higher learning institutions, business enterprises, and cultural organizations in China.

Established in March 2005, the U.S.-China Institute provides students and faculty with broad global resources and experiences and offers China-related services to businesses and communities. It is committed to building global connections that foster an environment that expands opportunities and contributes to broad global perspectives—both on campus and in the wider Bryant community.

The Institute’s major programs and resources include: China seminars, Sophomore International Experience (SIE) trip to China, exchange programs with Chinese universities, China-related business services for companies, celebration of major Chinese holidays, language classes for faculty/staff and professionals, K-12 Chinese language and culture summer camp, and Chinese Proficiency Test services.

The U.S.-China Institute also serves as a liaison between Bryant’s Smithfield campus and Bryant’s Zhuhai campus (which enrolls about 500 accounting students), implementing exchange programs such as Zhuhai SIE program in Smithfield, Bryant Summer Session for Zhuhai Students, Zhuhai 2+2 and 3+2 student transfers to Smithfield, and recruiting Zhuhai students to Bryant’s graduate programs.
