Chinese
Studying Chinese at DePauw
Expand your global perspective by studying one of the world’s most-spoken languages. A Chinese minor will give you a comprehensive foundation of knowledge that is deeply rooted in rich cultural heritage and uniquely suited for influence and impact in today’s globalized landscape. From business professionals and public officials to educators and artists, tomorrow’s leaders in any industry can benefit profoundly from the communication skills and diverse viewpoints that this program will introduce you to.
Courses include the critical acquisition of speaking, reading and writing skills, while also connecting students to a broad range of relevant topics such as history, literature, politics, art, philosophy and current events. Beyond the classroom, opportunities abound for study abroad experiences, international travel and cross-cultural exchange. The versatility and value of a Chinese minor makes it the ideal complement to any major field you choose to pursue.
In my classroom, I encourage a lot of dialogue and mutual questioning.
