The mission of the Chinese Studies Certificate is to offer a broad range of coursework and research opportunities for students that is designed to develop an understanding of China in all of its dimensions: culture, society, language, art, political science, history, and others. The Chinese Studies Certificate provides undergraduate research opportunities, a liberal arts foundation, and preparation for a variety of careers.

The program involves significant multidisciplinary study of Chinese civilization centered on a core of language study. It should be of special interest to students who intend to pursue advanced degrees and/or careers in Chinese Studies or in related professional areas, including international business, tourism, journalism, government service, the arts, translation, and, in general, culture brokerage between China and the United States. Anyone simply interested in Chinese society and culture will derive considerable benefit from study of Chinese Studies.
