Welcome to the Chinese
Program of the Pennsylvania State University. We offer a Chinese
Minor, Chinese language courses (listed under
CHNS), and Chinese literature and culture courses (listed under
CMLIT in the
University course catalogue), with a Chinese Major in planning. In
addition to the annual
Summer Intensive Language Institute in Chinese, we also have summer,
fall, spring, and year-long education abroad programs in
Taipei,
Beijing,
Shanghai,
Hong Kong, and
Singapore.
Here you can find
multimedia, online resources,
forms and everything else related to the study
of the Chinese language and culture.
