About Us
Welcome to ERRChina/CAC
Educational Resources and Referrals - China (ERRChina) is a non-profit organization committed to building bridges through education, scholarly exchange, and research. Over the years, we’ve developed a wide range of programs and events that bring together students, teachers, scholars, and the general public across both sides of the Pacific.
For 38 years, ERRChina has recruited, sent, and supported experienced Western educators to teach at China’s top universities. University Teaching Program partners have included universities in bustling Chinese cities as well as colleges in the rural Chinese countryside.
For 28 years, ERRChina’s China Academic Consortium (CAC) has nurtured Chinese and Western scholars, cultivating fertile ground for cross-cultural exchange and research, and serving the general public’s understanding of China and Chinese Christianity.
We welcome universities, seminaries, and individuals to join CAC year-round.
