The Minor in Chinese (18 semester hours)
offers students substantial language training and
fundamental cultural understanding. Three years of course
work or the equivalent training in language provide skills
for daily communication and tools for handling more
sophisticated materials. Literature and culture courses
provide knowledge of traditional and modern Chinese world
views and social realities.
Chinese language and culture and literature credits
transferred to Miami from other institutions may be used to
fulfill the requirements. The courses must be passed with a
2.0 g.p.a. Courses taken on a pass/non-pass basis may not
be applied to the minor, unless these courses are offered
on that basis only.
The Chinese minor may be used to fulfill the Miami Plan
Thematic Sequence requirement.
