Note: The 12-credit study abroad requirement for the B.S. ALIS degree is temporarily suspended for academic year 2022-2023. ALIS majors will still complete 30-credits of language coursework at the 2002 and above level, including the 4500 Intercultural Seminar, as well as the 18-credit cluster, but will not have to complete 12 of those credits abroad. ALIS majors are encouraged to participate in virtual faculty-led study abroad programs or LBATs or in “Global at Home” immersive programs in the event that study abroad is not possible in their language of study.

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.

May count CHIN 2002 (or CHIN 2501). All other courses must be 3000- or 4000- level courses. A student who counts CHIN 2002 (or CHIN 2501) toward the major requirements, may only count one 34XX course toward the major requirements. A student who does not count CHIN 2002 (or CHIN 2501) toward the major requirements, may count up to two 34XX courses toward the major requirements. Additional 34XX courses may be taken as free electives or to fulfill Core IMPACTS Arts, Humanities, and Ethics requirements.

A minimum of 12 credits from the Chinese Electives for the ALIS Major Requirements and/or from the Approved Cluster must be completed abroad in Chinese. A student may petition to have the 12-credit study abroad requirement reduced or waived under circumstances of extreme hardship or in the event of program cancellation. If approved, the student would substitute the overseas experience with a comparable cross-cultural experience as approved by the Program Director, Director of Undergraduate Studies, and/or Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Students are strongly encouraged to take additional language courses, linguistics courses, and relevant area studies courses to fulfill free elective credits so as to broaden and/or deepen language and culture learning.
