Bachelor of Arts - Foreign Languages and Cultures - Chinese

At Washington State University, the Chinese program offers three years of Chinese language study and several courses taught in English on Chinese and Asian culture.  Students can major or minor in Chinese, or they can major in Asian Studies with an emphasis on China.  Currently, WSU has students pursuing Chinese philosophy and martial arts, mixing Chinese with work toward an MBA, engineering, English teachers, and international students from Japan and Korea.

In the Pacific Northwest, there is more trade with Chinese-speaking nations than with any other place on the globe, and this is only increasing.  Chinese is one of the highest skill priorities for the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Foreign Service.  The links between China and the United States are of vital interest to all.  Blending Chinese with a variety of other majors and career pursuits will afford the enterprising student the sort of edge necessary for success in this increasingly competitive marketplace.
