The Hopkins-Nanjing Center offers two options for students interested in studying in Nanjing: a one-year Certificate in Chinese and American Studies and a two-year Master of Arts in International Studies degree, conferred by both The Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and Nanjing University. These programs bring Chinese and international students together in the classroom allowing all students to develop their understanding of the complex relationships at work between China, the United States and the global environment. Students wishing to combine their studies in Nanjing with further degree studies in the United States can also apply to be considered for a joint-degree program with The Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, D.C.. This is commonly referred to as the five-semester option. | Certificate | M.A. | Five Semester HNC-SAIS | Number of Semesters | 2 | 4 | 5 | Courses Required | 6 | 13 | 6 (at HNC) | Location | Nanjing, China | Nanjing, China | Nanjing & Washington D.C. | Master's Thesis | no | yes | no | Degree Conferred | Certificate in Chinese and American Studies | M.A. in International Studies | Certificate and SAIS M.A.* |
