Curriculum

The Chinese program offers comprehensive and coordinated language instruction from beginning to advanced levels and in both modern and classical domains.  Four levels of modern Chinese and two levels of classical Chinese are offered on a yearly basis.  Fifth Year Chinese was offered once in the past and may be offered in the future pending the needs of the students and the availability of resources.   In addition to general purpose language training, our program is building the Chinese for Specific Purposes (CSP) curriculum by starting Elementary Business Chinese I and II in 1997-1998, Intermediate
Business Chinese I and II in 1998-1999, and hopefully Advanced Business Chinese I and II in 1999-2000.  A dialect, Cantonese, is also offered regularly.
