The Bachelor of Arts in Chinese studies is an interdisciplinary program drawing from the disciplines of political science, history, literature and language, business, and economics to prepare students for a variety of professional careers and academic programs related to China. The Chinese studies program, as a minor or second major in combination with other disciplines such as education, finance, or any of the engineering specialties, will offer TU students the means to enhance their understanding of China globally as well as locally in their discipline.

Course Requirements


Beginning Chinese (CHIN 1004  and CHIN 1014 ) and Intermediate Chinese (CHIN 2003  and CHIN 2013 ) or their equivalents are prerequisites for the major and minor. The major consists of 30 credit hours, of which at least eighteen hours must be at the upper-division level (3000 and 4000-level courses); these will normally include a minimum of twelve hours in advanced Chinese. Courses must be taken from at least three disciplines. In addition, a three-hour senior project on a China-related topic must be completed through one of the participating departments.

Students of the major will be encouraged to complete a study abroad program in China for at least one semester.
