Minor in Chinese
China continues to emerge from centuries of isolation and is assuming a key role on the international scene in business, politics, art, culture and science. Chinese course offerings at George Mason give students the opportunity to study one of the rapidly developing ancient cultures of the world.
The emphasis of the minor in Chinese is on developing strong language skills: oral communication and the reading of texts. Students are also introduced to important works of Chinese literature and to the culture of China proper. A Chinese minor can easily and effectively be combined with majors in other disciplines. It is especially valuable in combination with business, computer science, international studies, anthropology, history, government, philosophy, or another language.
