A minor in Chinese is offered for students who have a substantial interest in Chinese language and culture.

REQUIREMENTS +

Requirements for the Minor in Chinese
Five language courses of at least three credits each at the level of Chinese 126 or above, and one more course with a substantial literary/cultural component to be chosen from either a 400-level course in Chinese or a course on Chinese literature in English translation (please see listing under “East Asian Studies”) at the 200 level or higher. Students who start taking Chinese from an upper level are expected to take at least four language courses probably including courses chosen from our 400-level language offerings and independent study 491 and 492.


Note: The minor in Chinese is intended for non-East Asian studies majors. East Asian studies majors must declare either a Chinese concentration or a Japanese concentration within the major.
