We offer programs year-round, with study durations of one semester or longer. The Spring Semester generally runs from early March to early July, while the Fall Semester runs from early September to early January of the following year. Students are placed in classes at beginner, elementary, intermediate, or advanced levels based on their Chinese proficiency. The Chinese language curriculum includes Comprehensive Chinese, Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Additionally, students can elect to take courses such as folk dance, Chinese ethnic musical instruments, calligraphy, painting, paper-cutting, martial arts, and HSK intensive training.
