Academic Programs
The China Hub at WPI is committed to providing instruction of the Chinese language; imparting knowledge of Chinese history, literature, arts and other aspects of Chinese culture; and promoting mutual understanding between the United States and China among our students.
The China Track is offered through the Department of Humanities and Arts (HUA) with the following options:
- Chinese Language Course Path offers eight courses from Elementary Chinese I to Advanced Intermediate Chinese I
- Chinese Studies Course Path offers the courses on China-related History, Chinese Language, Philosophy, Literature, or Music
- Chinese Studies Minor offers students the opportunity to extend their study of China and the Chinese Language beyond the HUA Requirement. This minor would include intermediate language proficiency or above, and content courses on Chinese history, philosophy, environment, and society and culture.
