Schwarzman College

Schwarzman College (also Chinese: 苏世民书院, pinyin: Sūshìmín Shūyuàn) is a new residential college of Tsinghua University (THU), which will host Schwarzman Scholars, an international scholarship program designed to "educate the next generation of global leaders". The program is intended to launch in June 2016, upon completion of Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University, located in Beijing, China. The college was designed by Robert A.M. Stern, former Dean of the Yale School of Architecture and will host 200 elite scholars annually from the US, China and other countries around the world for a one-year Master’s Degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Modeled on the Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University and the classical Chinese academies known as Shūyuàn (Schwarzman College is called Sūshìmín Shūyuàn in Chinese, translated directly as Schwarzman Academy), Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University will compete with Yenching Academy at Peking University in China and other similar scholarship programs around the world.

Schwarzman Scholars is designed to help future leaders better understand China and provide them with the firsthand knowledge and relationships necessary to foster collaboration and cooperation between nations. Given that China is poised to become the largest economy in the world within the next decades, Schwarzman believed it was necessary for future leaders to better understand China, its history, culture, economy and motivations. Schwarzman’s stated goal is to help prepare future leaders to interact and relate with greater sensitivity and knowledge. By fostering greater cooperation between the East and West he hopes to forge future geopolitical stability.
