Chinese Language Program

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. 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. 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.

If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact the Chinese Program Director, Yi-Hsien Liu, at yihsienl@usc.edu.
