Chinese
With more than 5000 years of history, China stands as the world’s oldest continuous
civilization. The Chinese language is spoken by over 1.3 billion people, more than any
other in the world, and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. With
China’s increasing cultural presence, economic power, and political influence on the
world stage, proficiency in Chinese increases opportunities for student success in fields
such as government, business, marketing, law, technology, international affairs,
integrative medicine, education, industry, and global studies.
The Chinese minor is designed to help students acquire speaking, listening, reading, and
writing/typing skills essential for communicative competence; understand Chinese
culture; and meet the challenges of an increasingly interconnected and globalized world.
