Chinese Studies is a multi-disciplinary programme focused on studying and learning through direct engagement with China. With an emphasis on teaching in English and training for effective communication in international arenas, the programme offers an integrated exploration of the complexities of Chinese history, culture, languages and contemporary society, including the integrated realms of the economy, governance, and business, for majors intent on becoming the globally-oriented China-specialist analysts, cross-cultural communicators and network builders of the twenty-first century.

This major is designed for two streams of students distinguished by Chinese language fluency, i.e. (1) International Stream (IS) and (2) Chinese Native-Speaker Stream (CNSS). Students in each stream pursue a subset of learning offerings tailored to their language capacities while completing most of their course work in a shared learning environment in which international and Chinese native-speaker students learn from each other and pursue collaborative projects together.

Special features of the programme include (1) the commitment to having students attain a high level of proficiency in both Chinese (Putonghua) and English; (2) the commitment to having all students undergo an intensive term-long target-language, social-cultural ‘immersion’ experience; (3) the commitment to directing ‘on-the-ground’ learning about China through required experiential and social enterprise courses; (4) the commitment to a student-centered, ‘liberal arts’ interactive mode of instruction that emphasizes developing skills in critical-thinking, rational analysis, and logical persuasive argumentation to carry out original in-depth research on Greater China.
