The Chinese Language minor is designed for majors in any field who wish to demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Chinese language, culture and society. The minor in Chinese Language is to equip students with a foundation in Chinese language and culture necessary to successfully interact with Chinese people. A minor in Chinese language should open doors to a variety of career options, for example, working in a position where Chinese language skills and cultural/business knowledge are desirable, teaching at a school or working for a multinational company, or pursuing advanced studies in Chinese, Asian studies, international relations, or related disciplines. Study abroad is strongly encouraged both for language acquisition and the attainment of cultural competency.
