CHIN 4500 “Intercultural Seminar” is the only required language course. CHIN 4500 functions as the capstone course for the B.S. ALIS degree.  Students should plan to take this course in their last spring semester before graduation and upon completion of the required international experience.  Please consult with advisor on scheduling for the required CHIN 4500 course.

Note that a student with a valid scheduling conflict may substitute CHIN 4699 (Undergraduate Research) for CHIN 4500 (Intercultural Seminar) with approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies and/or Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies. Valid scheduling conflicts include co-oping, interning, or studying abroad in the spring semester of one’s senior year or needing to take another required major course in the same time slot in one’s senior year.
