The Chinese Language and Culture Program encourages immersive learning experiences in China. If you participate in the CSB/SJU study abroad program in Beibei, China, some of your credits can count toward your Chinese Minor. If you have other college-level Chinese language credits from institutions off-campus, they may count toward your Chinese Minor as well. Please contact Dr. Sophia Geng for further details.
