Minzu University in Beijing (MUC)

Starting Spring 2011, ACC is moving to Minzu University in Beijing (MUC). MUC is one of China's most important comprehensive universities, and it is one of the 38 key universities receiving direct development support from the Chinese government. The goal for Minzu University is to become "one of the first-class ethnic universities in the world." MUC is located in a university district, near the National Library of China to the south, and the Chinese "Silicon Valley," Zhongguancun High-Technology Industry Base to the north. It has a beautiful garden-like campus - something rarely seen in northern China. Students will be housed in a modern dormitory with many amenities.

Additional Information

ACC accepts the Light Fellowship Language Evaluation as a substitute for a letter of recommendation. This relieves instructors of the burden of writing a separate letter. Moreover, the program actually finds greater value in our form than in a standard letter.
