About the Major
As one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history and the dominant cultural center of premodern East Asia, China boasts elaborate philosophical, political, economic, linguistic, religious, artistic and scientific traditions. With modern China playing an increasingly important role in world affairs, a major in Chinese provides students with a wide range of career opportunities. A Chinese major enables one to learn a language spoken by over 1.2 billion people and offers the most comprehensive language training in the nation. Complementing that language study, courses in Chinese archeology, Chinese Buddhism, Chinese gender issues, Chinese film, Chinese linguistics, and Chinese literature afford students penetrating insights into this fascinating culture and help the student to build an encompassing worldview to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Outside of class, the large Chinese and Chinese American population in Southern California also affords majors unique opportunities for cultural, educational, and social activities related to China and Chinese language.
