Courses
Our program offers a basic language sequence that covers beginning (first year) to advanced (fourth year) Chinese language, including Chinese I, II, III, IV, and Advanced Modern Chinese I, II, III, IV. We also offer theme-based courses such as Business Chinese, Conversational Chinese, News and Web Chinese, and Chinese Calligraphy.
Most recently, in order to provide students a well-rounded college experience, we added the practicum course Chinese Professional Internship where students intern under the guidance of the faculty advisor and the company mentor during the semester.
Students are also encouraged to take advantage of EALC’s summer study abroad program in Taiwan to gain first-hand experience in Chinese language and culture.
If you have any questions, please contact Hsiao-Yun Liao, Director of Chinese Language Program, at <hsiaolia@usc.edu>.
