Chinese Major
The departmental major in Chinese is individually constructed for each student. Specific course selections will, therefore, differ as a reflection of the student’s interests and priorities. In general, programs will comprise the following elements:
-
MODERN LANGUAGE SKILLS. Completion First Year, Second Year, and Third Year. Speaking/listening and reading/writing are now combined into one 5-credit course each term.
-
RELATED AREAS. Completion of a selection of courses, both inside and outside the department, which complement the language acquisition program and are convincingly related to its purposes.
