Chinese Minor
Students interested in learning Chinese language but whose primary academic interests lie outside of literature and culture are encouraged to consider a Chinese minor. Students pursuing a Chinese minor study modern Chinese at a high-intermediate or advanced level, become familiar with the literary or cultural traditions of one or more time periods in Chinese history, and be trained to design and pursue intellectual projects of their own design. Chinese minors are particularly encouraged to consider ways in which their study of Chinese might advance or add nuance to their primary disciplinary research and interests. Additional information about the Chinese Minor can be found under Learning Outcomes.
