Welcome to the Chinese
Program of the Pennsylvania State University. We offer a B.A. in Chinese: Chinese Major and
Minor. In
addition to the annual
Summer Intensive Language Institute in Chinese, we also have summer,
fall, spring, and year-long education abroad programs in

As part of the Asian Studies Program, the Chinese Program offers Chinese language courses (listed under CHNS), and Chinese literature and culture courses (listed under ASIA or CMLIT in the University course catalogue).
