Welcome to the Chinese Section (欢迎来访中文部)!

Please note:

Unfortunately, MLLC currently doesn't offer Chinese language courses. However, the department anticipates that we will be able to offer Chinese courses in the near future. Please contact Dr. Carlos Mejía with any questions regarding the offering of Chinese Courses.

The goal and focus of the Chinese Section of the Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Department at Gustavus is to prepare students for becoming world citizens in the current inter-connected world. We offer not only Chinese/Mandarin language courses but also a January term course focused on Chinese cultures, ancient civilization and Chinese heritages. The essence of learning Chinese/Mandarin language is to arouse learners’ curiosity of exploring a plethora of cultures including Chinese cultures. We believe that there is no “good” or “bad” culture but only cultural differences.
