The Thunderbird Language and Business (LAB) Program has been developed in association with Peking University in Beijing. It is a year-round study abroad program designated exclusively for those who are interested in learning the necessary skills to maximize individual success on their business pursuits with China.

The LAB Program curriculum consists of Chinese business language immersion, business courses on how to conduct business in China, lectures on understanding the Chinese legal and political systems, seminars on cross-cultural communication, field trips to corporations and as well as roundtable discussion with executives. All LAB language instructors are experts in their field and many of the faculty members are bi-lingual (in English and Chinese).
