Minor in Chinese

With China's recent entry into the World Trade Organization and their successful bid for the Olympics in 2008, student interest in learning Chinese has grown rapidly at Georgia Tech. We have begun to upgrade course offerings at the upper division level in Chinese and are currently developing a course in Chinese for LBAT, Languages for Business and Technology. Our summer program with Kennesaw State University offers courses at all levels and this new course will help bring our Chinese summer program into line with other LBAT programs offered by the School of Modern Languages.

If you plan to pursue a minor, you should meet with that department's advisor to plan the appropriate courses. It is not necessary to meet with this advisor during your first semester or decide now which minor you might pursue, but you should explore your options early and keep your advisor informed. Every minor requires 18 hours with 12 hours being upper-level coursework (3000 level or above).

Once you've decided on a minor

1. You must declare a minor by submitting a Change/Addition of An Academic Minor(s) Form. For more information, please visit the Registrar's section on minors here.
   
2. You must also submit an Approved Program of Study to the registrar with your degree petition after you and your advisor meet to complete your degree petition paperwork. For more information, please visit the Registrar's section on the Approved Program of Study here.

Minors are posted on your final transcript. Meet frequently with your advisor to ensure that the classes you choose to take are approved for your minor and for any changes to the requirements. For additional information, visit the Registrars website.
