Course requirements for the major in Chinese studies include:
The Chinese studies major consists of a minimum of 44 credits, of which 24 credits must be taken in Chinese studies; 12 credits in a complementary area of study; and 8 credits at the 3000-4000 level in an appropriate language. Language courses at the 1000 and 2000 level do not count toward the total number of credits for the major in either the primary or secondary area. The complementary area of study ordinarily consists of the appropriate introductory international course and two additional courses in the area, which may be either international studies courses or departmental courses. IS 4995 , the capstone course, must have a subject matter relevant to Chinese studies in order to count for credit toward the major.
Duplication of course credit in the primary and complementary areas is not permitted. However, majors may apply their courses in international studies to their general education requirements.
2. 16 credits drawn from the following
3. 12 credits in complementary area - Japanese or South Asian studies
4. 4 credits in IS 4995 (Directed Research), focused on the core area
5. 8 credits in Chinese language at the 3000-4000 level
Other coursework
With the approval of the International Studies Program director or faculty adviser prior to enrollment, students may also use the following courses for major credit provided that the specific course topic to be studied in any given semester is consistent with their chosen major.
Note
Students using this catalog to meet Chinese studies major requirements may also use any course subsequently approved as satisfying requirements #2 and #3 above and published in a later catalog.
Additional program information
The International Studies Program periodically sponsors summer study tours to China including study at the China Foreign Affairs University in Beijing.
Additional Information
In addition to these major requirements, students must complete the Oakland University General Education Requirements , the College of Arts and Sciences College Exploratory Requirement , and an appropriate number of free elective classes to meet the overall credit requirement for the degree (in most cases 124; some degrees may require a greater number).
As a general rule, no more than eight credits of course work used to satisfy one major, minor or concentration may be applied toward another, but exceptions to this rule may be allowed with the written approval of the program coordinators.
