Requirements
Overview
Requirements include Chinese language training through CHN 202 (or equivalent) plus 16 additional hours of course work. No course for the minor may be taken S/U. Students must receive at least a C in each course taken for the minor.
Language Courses
16 hours. Students may choose one of two tracks to fulfill the language requirements. The regular track, i.e., Elementary and Intermediate Chinese (CHN 101, 102, 201 and 202), is designed for students who do not have any background or only have had a very little experience in Chinese.
The alternative track, i.e., Literacy in Chinese (CHN 103 and 203), is designed for students whose Chinese oral proficiency is close to that of Chinese native speakers, but who have little or no reading and writing skills in Chinese.
Language requirements may be fulfilled by demonstrating equivalent mastery of the language through oral and written examination administered by REALC.
Literature and Cultural Studies
16 hours. In addition to the required language courses, students minoring in Chinese must complete four elective courses (16 hours) in Chinese literature, cultural studies, language, or history. Up to four credits may be fulfilled through courses offered outside REALC. No more than one lecture course from non-Emory administered study-abroad programs or CHN 496 (Language Internship) may be counted towards the minor. No more than two electives can be language courses.
