Overview

The Chinese major from Georgetown University, which is not open to advanced native speakers due to the limited number of advanced courses, begins with language work and a writing-intensive introduction to important issues in East Asian culture, and proceeds through advanced coursework in language and culture, classical and modern (often including a semester or year abroad).

Features

In order to familiarize themselves with relevant critical and historical issues in the field, students must take at least one of the courses on Chinese culture offered by the department in English in addition to "East Asia: Texts and Contexts."

The major culminates in a Senior Seminar paper or Senior Honors Thesis on a topic of the student's interest within the area of Chinese cultural studies.
