The Major in Chinese Language and Literature

Twelve courses are required:  Chinese 101, 102, 201, 202, 236, 238, 301, 302, 401, and 402; East Asian Studies 101 and 493 or 494.  Students are strongly encouraged to take a Chinese history course and other literature courses in the department.  In place of Chinese 301 and 302, students may substitute two Chinese language courses above the second-year level taken in a study abroad program.  Chinese 401, 402 must be taken at Connecticut College; courses taken at another institution will not satisfy this requirement.  In order to complete a major in Chinese Language and Literature, students will be required to study for at least one semester of the junior year in China.  Under special circumstances the department may approve a summer program in China or the United States.  The major also requires an ACTFL oral proficiency rating of at least intermediate-high by the end of the senior year.
