China (or the Greater China that includes Taiwan and Hong Kong, the
Special Administration Region of China) has increasingly become a major
player on the political and economic stage in East Asia and in global
politics. Its culture, philosophy, and arts have had lasting influence
in the East Asian region. The opening up of China in the post-Mao era
since 1976 has provided ample opportunities for scholarly pursuit,
business and trade ventures, government and foreign services, and legal
and other professional undertakings.
In response to the new opportunities and challenges, the Chinese
Program sets forth not only to provide students with another option to
meet the language requirement of the College of Arts and Sciences at SU,
but also to prepare those who aspire to or are interested in the
exploration of careers related to China. Currently, Chinese Program
offers Chinese language courses from elementary to the advanced levels.
These courses, together with courses offered by the Asian Studies Major,
provide students a broad, diversified and yet focused learning
experience on China. Students can also choose to minor in Chinese in
addition to their major.
The Chinese Program, in cooperation with Soochow University, offers
opportunities for students to study in the beautiful city of Suzhou,
China for a semester or a year after completing a year of Chinese
language study at SU or the equivalent.
