Overview

In today's world, it is hard to live without noticing the influence of China. Studying Chinese will allow you to communicate with one-fifth of the people on this planet and to open the door to a culture with more than 5,000 years of history. China is an influential world political power and an emerging economic powerhouse. The Chinese language is the gateway to exploring the excitement, energy, beauty, and creativity of the Chinese people and their unique architecture, art, cuisine, customs, fashion, literature, martial arts, music, philosophy, and religions.

At Santa Fe College, we teach Mandarin (Putonghua in Mainland China or Guoyu in Taiwan), the official standardized language of China. Students will study Pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, and simplified characters, while also learning about history, art, religion, philosophy, and contemporary Chinese society. Furthermore, Santa Fe students and faculty can take advantage of a bilateral exchange agreement with Beijing Union University, and they can enroll in our own annual summer study abroad program in Beijing.
