Program: Minor

Professors Reeck (Program Coordinator), He, Wesoky, Wu
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 and the ability to critically analyze various issues of a non-Western civilization and its modern transformation. A minimum of 24 credits are required to fulfill the requirements 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. Because the Chinese Studies minor is interdivisional, students who complete any major can take Chinese Studies as minor.
**Please consult with the Program Coordinator about coursework in Chinese.
