Courses
Chinese Language instruction is one of our main tasks. Despite our business orientation, offering general Chinese classes is still one of our main focus areas. We offered two different kinds of Chinese courses, credit and non-credit.
Credit Courses
Helping build a Chinese program at GSU is one of the main tasks of our institute. Credit courses target students at GSU. In this initial stage of building a Chinese program at GSU, our institute takes advantage of our strong faculty resources and offer multi-level, high-quality Chinese courses to meet the current demand. At the same time, we offered non-credit courses to satisfy the needs of the community.
Non-Credit Courses
At the same time, we also offered non-credit courses. These courses range from elementary Chinese to advanced Chinese. We have also offered culture courses and have developed plans to offer courses that target the business community.
