The Chinese Studies program is an interdisciplinary program which is designed to provide students interested in China a broad foundation in Chinese language, culture, and history, and an opportunity to focus on the cultural-philosophical world view and the economic and business structure of China. The program requires that major and minor students complete coursework in at least three different disciplines: Chinese language, history, and anthropology, with optional work in political science, the arts, religion, business, and other disciplines.
Students are strongly encouraged to participate in the university's China exchange programs (currently at Sichuan University) and may request that credits earned through these programs be counted toward the major or minor. With the approval of the program director, selected January-term, summer, and experimental courses may be included in the major or minor.
Faculty: A committee of faculty administers this program: Youtz, Chair; Barnowe, Byrnes, Dwyer-Shick, Guldin, Ingram, Li, Manfredi (on sabbatical 2007) McGinnis. Mr. Sidney Rittenberg serves as honorary advisor.
Students must take at least one Chinese history course.
*These
courses may count for program credits only when the student's course
project is focused on China and is approved by the program chair.
** History 496 may be counted toward program requirements only when it focuses specifically on China.
