Chinese Studies, Minor

Uniquely situated along the Pacific Rim, San Francisco is home to the largest Chinatown outside of Asia and its population is 34 percent Asian. Complete immersion in Chinese culture and traditions starts by simply stepping through our front door and taking advantage of USF's prime location.

Classrooms extend into the city, which serves as a living laboratory with its unrivaled array of academic, linguistic, and cultural experiences. A sequence of structured language courses helps you hear, speak, read, and write Chinese while gaining a comprehensive understanding of Chinese culture and contemporary society.

Study Abroad

USF offers two Chinese study abroad opportunities through Loyola University Chicago The Beijing Center and Hong Kong Baptist University.
