Learning Goals
Minors will be introduced to the cultural heritage of China
through courses on literature, history, visual culture, language, and
linguistics. Minors will be able to communicate effectively (listening,
speaking, and writing) in standard Chinese (Mandarin) and will learn critical
skills in analyzing and interpreting literary and cultural materials
appropriate to the student's area of specialization. Students will achieve
advanced linguistic competency and be able to demonstrate practical skills in
using Chinese for translation and interpretation. Students will be able to
relate relevant issues to other areas in the humanities.
Requirements
The minor in Chinese consists of four courses in Chinese above the 100 level, in both modern and classical Chinese, plus two
additional elective courses (of 3 credits or more) in the area of concentration (subject code 165). The elective courses may be language courses or culture courses.
