Business
Chinese Studies graduates have found work in foreign investment,
tourism and trade in Chinese-speaking countries. Others have found careers
in the United States with companies doing business with China, Hong
Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.
Culture/Service Sector
Once you become fluent in Chinese, consider translation and
interpretation services for businesses and government organizations.
Educational, church and international exchange groups also welcome
people with Chinese Studies backgrounds to serve on their staffs.
Education and Academia
Chinese Studies is an expanding academic area from K-12 to the
university level. Teaching and research opportunities will expand to
meet a global need for trained China specialists.
Government
Imagine yourself as a diplomat or on staff at a United States embassy
or consulate in China, or as a liaison officer in Taiwan. State and
Commerce Department positions are increasing locally and nationally as
our relations with this 21st-century superpower expand.
