[
April 28, 2012]  The Lincoln College Global Studies program is announcing its next study-abroad opportunity: a 12-day trip to Imperial China in May of 2013.

The trip is open to Lincoln College students, local students who may attend other colleges and the general public. Students who participate in the trip have the opportunity to earn one credit from Lincoln College.

The trip will include some of the most historic destinations in China, with stops in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an and Hong Kong. The all-inclusive price for the trip includes hotels, transportation, a daily light breakfast and several meals (including seven local dinners), and admission to many tourist sites, such as the Terracotta Warriors, the Great Wall, a Tang Dynasty show and dinner, and a tour of Landau Island.

The program is arranged with the help of Education First College Study Tours, which offers tours to over 60 destinations across the world.

"We are excited to offer this wonderful cultural and educational opportunity to our students and our community," said Paula Knopp, coordinator of the Global Studies program at Lincoln College. "China is an especially exciting place to visit at the present time. We will be able to see many great historical sites while also being able to observe a country that is rapidly growing, with many recent advancements in technology, infrastructure and architecture.

"We feel that the all-inclusive price is very reasonable and encourage anyone who is interested to contact the Global Studies program for more details."
