Overview of the Chinese Language Program
The Chinese Program at Wake Forest University began in 1989 and has grown vigorously ever since. Students can take seven semesters of Chinese as well as an optional course in Business Chinese. Our dedicated instructors, who are all trained in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, work closely with the students in and out of the classroom. Chinese majors spend a semester abroad immersing themselves in the target language and culture. Every semester the Chinese Program sponsors various extracurricular activities to enhance formal learning. Past graduates work in a variety fields such as marketing and advertising, finances, secondary education and law.
