Chinese Language and Culture
Familiarity with Chinese (Mandarin) has rapidly become a valuable asset for new graduates seeking employment in many fields. Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø's minor equips students with language skills and vital cultural context to meet the high market demand for this credential.
Students take two kinds of courses, Chinese language and co-requisites in relevant political, historical, or cultural topics.
Study abroad credits are evaluated and applied toward the requirements of this minor. Fortunately, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø has longstanding ties with several Chinese universities, and recently pioneered an internship abroad in Shanghai. Our department's co-chair, Dr. Tim Connolly (Philosophy), is a Chinese-speaker who has led trips abroad to a variety of destinations in China.
