BA in Chinese in Provo United States | Brigham Young University

Exploring Chinese language and culture provides insight into the literature, philosophy, traditions, and social structures of the world's most populous nation with an unbroken cultural history. Additionally, as Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese civilizations are deeply rooted in classical Chinese Confucian thought, specializing in Chinese unlocks significant portions of contemporary Asian culture. Students develop proficiency in spoken and written Mandarin, cultivate analytical skills for interpreting both classical and contemporary texts, master research methodologies, and refine persuasive writing abilities. The Chinese program delivers all the intellectual growth and cross-cultural awareness characteristic of a humanities-focused liberal arts education.
