4) either CHI 401 or 415.

5) CHI 457 or 458, the senior thesis. Students are expected to utilize some source materials in Chinese in conducting research for the thesis. Qualified students are encouraged to write in Chinese.

Students may petition the program to have courses taken in their study-abroad program applied toward the fulfillment of requirements 1) and 3).

Minor
A minor requires a minimum of seven courses (or six courses and a designated Short Term course). At least one of the seven courses must involve a study of literature or culture (taught either in Chinese or in translation), but only one course in translation may be counted toward the minor. A student may petition to have up to three comparable courses, completed at other institutions either in the United States or abroad, apply toward the minor. Advanced Placement courses may not be applied toward the minor. Students planning to declare a minor in Chinese should consult with Professor Yang.

Pass/Fail Grading Option
Pass/fail grading may be elected for two courses applied toward the Chinese major.

General Education Information for the Class of 2010
Any one Chinese Short Term course may serve as an option for the fifth humanities course.
