chinese Minor
The Chinese Program at the University of Arkansas offers courses that mainly focus on Mandarin Chinese and Chinese culture. Currently, we offer many language courses at the elementary,
intermediate and advanced levels each semester. Several courses are designed to promote daily communication (including listening, speaking, reading, and writing Chinese) in a more idiomatic and native way. New courses facilitating business activities and Chinese culture are also highly recommended. Many students have gone to China to continue learning Chinese (with various study abroad programs) or even to further their careers after taking our courses here at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
