The initial focus of TBC was cultural immersion through study abroad opportunities and short-term, faculty-led educational tours. As part of its programs, TBC introduced:
Chinese language training
English-taught academic courses covering a variety of subjects connected to Chinese culture
Extended immersion through Chinese roommate pairing, Chinese peer language tutors, and Chinese family homestay opportunities
Academic excursions within China
When first entering the TBC Beijing location at the 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.
