With a distinguished heritage, our Chinese program is celebrated for its exceptional faculty and academic offerings. The department fosters interdisciplinary collaboration across campus, enabling students to combine studies with Linguistics, International Studies through the Jackson School, or Business via the Foster School's International Studies in Business Certificate. Our University libraries, including the East Asia Library, house one of the nation's premier Chinese collections. The department regularly hosts lectures and seminars, often jointly with other academic units. Seattle's thriving Chinese and Chinese American communities present abundant cultural activities, allowing students to immerse themselves in authentic experiences. The city's Pacific Coast location also facilitates travel to China and throughout Asia.
