Chinese Studies
Academic Bulletin
An interdivisional minor examining the religion, politics, history, and language of China. The minor includes coursework in Chinese language, Religious Studies, History, and Political Science. Through this minor, students will acquire an understanding of Chinese culture, history, society, and contemporary politics. A minimum of 24 credits are required for the minor. When appropriate, other courses- for example, Special Topics or FS 201 courses in relevant subjects-may be substituted for approved electives to bring the total credits to at least 24. All substitutions of alternatives for approved courses must be approved by the minor coordinator, and students must discuss any potential course substitutions prior to enrolling in the course. With the approval of the coordinator, an appropriate EL Seminar to China may be used to substitute a course. Students who study away in China should take a minimum of 12 credits at Allegheny and consult with the coordinator about the course selection in Allegheny’s partner institution of higher education in China.
Because this minor is interdivisional, students who complete any major can take Chinese Studies as minor. Students should be aware, however, they still must complete eight credits in each of the divisions of the College to complete the College distribution requirement.
Students who are native speakers of Chinese language must take Chinese culture, literature, and film course of 300 level and above along with available Chinese religion and philosophy courses to fulfil the minor requirement of linguistic and cultural perspectives.
