Studying Chinese at Duke: the Overview

The Chinese language program at Duke offers a five-year curriculum in Mandarin Chinese, an official language in China, Taiwan, and Singapore. Currently, the program has seven full-time faculty members. Besides the language courses, the Chinese Program offers courses on Chinese literature and cultural studies. The curriculum of the program is integrated into Duke Study in China Program (DSIC). Students can expect to receive a high quality of instruction in Chinese language and culture with a holistic curriculum from the Chinese Program at Duke. Major and minor with concentration in Chinese are also available in the Department of Asian and African Languages and Literature.
The language curriculum is divided into two tracks. The regular track is designed for students who start learning Chinese from scratch upon college entry. The fundamental courses for this track include Elementary Chinese (CHN001/002), Intermediate Chinese (CHN63/64), Advanced Chinese (CHN 125/126), and Chinese Language and Society (CHN181S/182S).  The alternative track is designed for students whose Chinese oral proficiency is close to that of Chinese native speakers, but have varied reading and writing skills. The language courses for the alternative track include Intensive Elementary Chinese (CHN14), Literacy in Chinese / Elementary Chinese for Advanced Beginner (CHN035/036), Readings in Modern Chinese (CHN 135/136), Topics in Chinese (CHN183S/184S), and Contemporary Chinese Culture (CHN195S/196S).  Content-oriented instruction is implemented in upper level courses, i.e. CHN170S and above.
