The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies (or TBC) was established by Fr. Ron Anton as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1998. TBC's mission is to promote mutual understanding between China and other cultures. The Beijing Center was originally accredited by Loyola Marymount University and has been academically accredited by Loyola University-Chicago since 2007. The center offers programs for undergraduate students, faculty researchers and administrators, and programs for special academic groups.

About TBC

The initial focus of TBC was on undergraduate study-abroad in China. TBC introduced:

  • Chinese language training,
  • English-taught content courses,
  • immersion through Chinese roommate program, Chinese peer language tutors, Chinese family home-stay opportunities for academic-year students,
  • academic excursions within China.

The Beijing Center offers English-taught semester courses across 13 fields of study.

When first entering the TBC Beijing location at the Beijing University of International Business and Economics, there is a replica of an old Beijing alleyway or “Hutong”. There is a water garden featuring 4,000 years of Chinese water jars, the conference room displays original copies of western maps of China from 1584 to 1745, and the director’s office replicates an old Ming scholar’s studio.

ChinaContact

The ChinaContact division runs faculty-led short-term, non-credit programs all year long. Several times a year there are programs for faculty members and for university administrators including programs for university presidents. There are workshops and courses for undergraduate classes, MBA groups, and graduate humanities classes.

TBC Research Center

TBC Research Center specializes in supporting primary source research and helping young Chinese scholars in the doctoral or post-doc years. The center’s scholar-in-residence helps TBC students with academic projects during their stay in Beijing.
