- Total Credits for Chinese Major: 34
- Grade Point Average to Declare Major: 2.5 Career GPA
- Grade Point Average to Graduate with Major: 2.5 GPA within major coursework
- Credits in Residence: A minimum of 50 percent of major credits must be earned at USU. Students who have completed bridge courses should contact their advisor as these courses will count toward elective credits and credits in residence.
- Minimum Grade Requirement: All courses for the major require a minimum grade of C- or better. Courses for the major may not be taken on a pass/fail basis.
- Note: Credits obtained in lower-division Chinese courses cannot be applied toward the Chinese major, except CHIN 2050 .
A. Required Courses (7 credits)
Language Option 1: Chinese Conversation
NOTE: In order to get into CHIN 2050 , a student should have completed CHIN 2010 or taken the Chinese Placement test in the World Languages and Cultures Department. This is a required transition course that is intended for students who have not had extensive experience living in a Chinese community. Cantonese-speakers should take CHIN 2050 after they complete or test out of CHIN 2020 . Students with at least one-year extensive immersion experience in a Chinese-speaking environment (e.g., returned missionaries) should take Option 2 below.
Language Option 2: Linguistics
NOTE: Students who are not true beginners of Mandarin Chinese are required to take the Chinese placement test in World Languages and Cultures Department Main 204. The CHIN 2050 course is waived, but the Chinese major should do Language Option 2 to complete the “Required Courses” (7 credits) requirement.
B. Elective Courses (27 credits minimum)
Students must complete at least 27 credits of upper-division coursework selected from the following list:
Notes:
1 Only two credits of CHIN 4920 may count toward the Chinese major and one credit of CHIN 4920 towards the Chinese minor.

3 Students desiring to apply study abroad credits toward these degrees must obtain approval from the World Languages and Cultures office prior to participating.
4 This course may be repeated for additional credit.
