A. Required Courses (4 credits)


IMPORTANT NOTE:

CHIN 2050  is a required transition course that is intended for students who have not had extensive experience living in a Chinese community. CHIN 2050  is required after CHIN 2010  and before CHIN 3010  and does not count towards the Chinese minor. For students with at least one year of extensive experience speaking Mandarin Chinese in a Mandarin-speaking environment (e.g., returned missionaries), CHIN 2050  is waived and the student should take CHIN 3010  after they have tested in the World Languages and Cultures Department. (Cantonese speakers should take CHIN 2050 .)

Note:


While this course may be repeated for additional credit, only 1 credit may count toward requirements for the Chinese major or minor.
