The curriculum is designed for entry at any point. We welcome students with zero Chinese language background, first-year beginners, intermediate students, advanced students, and heritage and non-heritage students.

Language proficiency in all modalities is gained through a variety of courses (large class, small class, and one-on-one sessions). Advanced students train with language tutors who have the same professional areas of interest or majors as the Flagship students. If face-to-face meetings cannot be arranged, instruction can be conducted in the online live classroom platform where users on both ends can communicate and share documents in text, audio, and video formats.

Students have access to web-based multimedia materials designed for learning Chinese. These materials allow students to practice daily language functions, read essays and stories, and write in Chinese.

During the semester, abundant cultural activities, internships, and community service projects are available for students to take part in to hone their cultural knowledge and professional language skills.
