Description:

Chinese is one of the most spoken and highly valued languages in the world. The goal of the Chinese minor is to increase students’ proficiency in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Mandarin Chinese. Students with intermediate, advanced, or higher-level proficiency in Mandarin will enhance their marketability and gain valuable skills to compete and contribute in today’s world.

Admission:

Admission to the Chinese minor is open to all undergraduates who have completed CHI 101 and 102 or the equivalent with the grade of B- or better.

Note:


CHI 101   and CHI 102  do not count toward the Chinese Language Minor

One approved relevant course can be considered as a substitute for CHI 201  for students who enter the program at a higher level. A course taken through SU Abroad or other centers can also be considered as this one substitute (for 201) course, upon approval of Chinese minor advisor. A Chinese literature course taught in English or another language could substitute for CHI 201 only. Up to one course taught fully in Mandarin could substitute for other minor requirements upon approval by Chinese minor advisor on SU campus.
