Chinese Studies at NC State

Preparing for the 21st century, courses in Chinese studies offer great opportunities for students at NC State to learn the fundamental aspects of communication in the official language used in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Marco and various areas in the world.

The Chinese language was the first spoken language in the world, and presently it is one of the official languages of the United Nations. One out of five people in the world speaks Chinese. With its beautiful ideographic writing and musical tones, Chinese language is attracting more and more American students to enroll in Chinese courses at NC State.
 

How Chinese Can Meet Your Degree Requirements
The first and second semesters of Chinese (FLC101-102) may satisfy NC State's foreign language requirement. The third semester of Chinese (FLC 201) may satisfy the language requirement of the College of Humanities & Social Science, the College of Management and the First Year College.
