Overview

The Minor in Chinese, offered by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, requires 6 courses: three Chinese-language courses and three China-focused content courses. Students who place out of CHI 2002, CHI 3001, and/or CHI 3002 may substitute Chinese electives. See the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Studies for more information on placement and appropriate substitutions.

Minors are awarded only at the time of completion of the bachelor's degree and cannot be awarded either as a stand-alone program of study or after completion of the first bachelor's degree.
