The academic program is focused on the study of Chinese language and culture. All instruction is in Chinese. On arrival, students will take a placement test to determine the appropriate level of coursework. Students who have completed two years of college-level Chinese or the equivalent will take a combination of language courses and courses about Chinese culture taught in Chinese. Students who have completed three years of college-level Chinese or the equivalent will take courses in language, culture and other topics. Students with sufficiently proficient Chinese may enroll in regular university courses in a wide variety of fields.
Chinese language courses are intensive and meet four hours a day from Monday through Friday. Elective courses covering a variety of cultural and linguistic topics are offered in the afternoons.
