Academic Course Map for Chinese (B.A.)

---

  Program Overview

The Bachleor of Arts degree in Chinese (CHIN), which is offered by Department of Asian Languages and Civilizations at ²ÊÃñ±¦µä, emphasizes knowledge and awareness of the Chinese language, including Chinese literary history and the cultural contexts in which particular works were written.  Students gain critical language skills that can be applied across a range of careers, including the skills to address challenges, deficiencies and possible gains inherent in the process of translating from one language to another.

With a Chinese major, students will have skills, information and concepts that are relevant to careers in virtually every area. Competency in a foreign language is a highly desirable skill in all fields. A knowledge of Chinese is particularly beneficial and useful in business, engineering, industry, commerce, the civil or foreign service, law, library science, natural and social sciences, the media, economics, public administration, journalism, government and teaching at all levels. In addition, China is an increasing source of a wide variety of excellent careers, as it is among the world’s largest economies and trading partners with the U.S. and Colorado.
