The Major Program
The student choosing a major in Chinese studies must meet the following requirements:
1. Two years of Mandarin Chinese (Chinese Studies 11-12-13 and 21-22-23 or equivalent).
2. History 10-11-12 (East Asian History).
3. Twelve upper-division courses in Chinese studies, including courses taken in at least three departments. At least one of these courses should be a seminar or colloquium in which students would be expected to write a substantial term paper. No more than six upper-division language courses count toward the major requirement.
4. As a rule, only courses taken for a letter grade can satisfy program requirements (major, minor). Exceptions are granted for Chinese Studies 198 and 199.
In principle, the courses included in the Program in Chinese Studies are those campus offerings dealing with China or the Chinese language.
