Lehigh University

Lehigh’s undergraduate major and minor in Chinese provides training in the language and culture of China. Courses in Mandarin and in English are included. The major in Chinese will require 36 credits: a minimum of 24 credits in courses taught in Chinese, plus 8 credits at the 200 or 300 level of Chinese language and literature (marked CHIN). Courses offered in English in MLL on Chinese literature and history may be included in the major and a maximum of two courses outside of MLL in the Asian Studies Program that are concerned specifically with China, such as those available in International Relations, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, etc., by approval of the major adviser. Approved study abroad programs in China require prior consultation of adviser, associate dean and registrar, to make sure that courses and credits earned are transferable to Lehigh. Where appropriate, Financial Aid should also be consulted. Program listings and scholarship application forms may be consulted in the MLL office. A maximum of 8 credits for summer, 12 credits for a semester, and 16 credits for a year of study abroad may be transferred toward the major.
