The Chinese graduate program in the School of International Letters and Cultures offers an MA degree with a focus in one of two areas:
Literature, linguistics, religion and culture
Pedagogy
A focus on literature, linguistics, religion and culture prepares students for further academic training, for entrance to professional schools in such fields as law, business, journalism and translation, and for a general level of knowledge about the languages and cultures of China as an asset to a professional career. The pedagogy focus is intended for students whose major interest is in teaching modern Chinese in K-16 environments.
