The Bachelor of Arts in Chinese is divided into three separate concentrations: Chinese Language, designed for students with little or no background in Chinese language; Chinese Literature and Linguistics, aimed at native and near-native speakers of Chinese language; and Flagship Chinese Language, a federally funded honors program. The Minor in Chinese Language is designed for beginning language learners, and is focused on the buildup of proficiency in the Modern Standard Language. The Minor in Chinese Literature and Linguistics, is designed for native and near-native speakers, and requires coursework in advanced language, classical language, linguistics, literature, culture, and oratory. Students will satisfy University Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) by taking one GWAR offering from the Chinese Program or Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. Current GWAR offerings include CHIN 601GW, CHIN 611GW, CHIN 612GW and MLL 400GW. Prior to submitting an application for graduation, candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese must present evidence of having completed a Culminating Experience Project. The Culminating Experience Project can be completed through one of three options: Standardized Test: The student shall submit evidence of having passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK), the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL), or the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) for Mandarin Chinese at the appropriate level. The following grade levels are treated as passing: Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK): Level 4 or higher Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL): Level 3 or higher Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI): Advanced low or higher Writing Portfolio: The student shall submit a writing portfolio with evidence of advanced level academic and/or professional writing in both Chinese and English. The portfolio must contain at least one work of Chinese language academic or professional writing developed out of a writing assignment submitted for credit in an upper division course taught in Chinese, and one work of English language academic or professional writing developed out of a writing assignment accepted for credit in a GWAR course. Flagship Capstone: The Flagship Capstone option is available only to students accepted into the Chinese Flagship Program. Students in the Chinese Flagship Program must choose the Flagship Capstone Option, which consists of a "Capstone Year" abroad, to be implemented once the student has reached proficiency benchmarks set by the Language Flagship and has been recommended by the Council of Chinese Flagship Directors. There are currently two supported Flagship "Capstone Year" programs. Nanjing University Flagship Center, administered by Brigham Young University and the American Councils of International Education: one semester of study at Nanjing University followed by a four-month, full-time professional internship. Tianjin Normal University Flagship Center: two semesters of study simultaneously with a part-time internship.
