SASASAAS (Southern Atlantic States Association for Asian and African Studies) is a consortium of colleges and universities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia established to stimulate and enhance the study of Asia and Africa. Davidson College is a member of this consortium.

The Wake Forest/SASASAAS Program in China is designed for students who wish to begin, or continue, Chinese language study while taking two area studies courses in Chinese culture and society taught in English.

The fall semester program combines classroom instruction with a rich variety of extracurricular activities that allow students to take advantage of living in a country that is not only one of the world's oldest civilizations but one of today's fastest growing economies.
