What will I learn in a Chinese minor?

The Chinese minor offered through the World Languages and Literatures Department within the College of Liberal Arts provides you with cultural enrichment and a broad understanding of Chinese language, culture and economy.

In this program, you'll study the Chinese language, including courses in conversation and grammar. Conversation classes focus on everyday topics that are relatable to American students in the target language as well as accurate pronunciation and culturally appropriate behavior. You will have the opportunity to be exposed to authentic materials from Chinese TV dramas and movies, as well as other popular media platforms to be immersed in real-life situations.

In addition to taking up to three years of Chinese language classes, concurrently you will also take classes that explore Chinese society and overseas Chinese communities through Chinese classic, modern and popular culture to become informed learners and cultivate an enduring understanding of intercultural communication and competence.
