Chinese Languages and Culture

Success in gaining proficiency in a language other than one's native one requires constant use of the language. Students are encouraged to study abroad in China and take advantage of the rich resources at the university, especially the large international student population from China. 

Many businesses are either doing or plan to conduct operations in China. Also a number of companies in China are setting up operations in the U.S. A fluency in Chinese by its employees is often sought by both of these types of employers and make a graduate of this program more desirable.
