Why study Chinese Languages and Culture?

This certificate is a interdisciplinary program in which students learn about the Chinese culture and attain a level of fluency in the Chinese language.

Success in gaining proficiency in a language other than one's native one requires constant use of the language. Students are encouraged to study abroad in China and take advantage of the rich resources at the university, especially the large international student population from China. 

Career Possibilities

Many businesses are either doing or plan to conduct operations in China. Also a number of companies in China are setting up operations in the U.S. A fluency in Chinese by its employees is often sought by both of these types of employers and make a graduate of this program more desirable.
