Complete an entire year of Modern Chinese study in only ten weeks. The Chinese Program offers an intensive version of its year-round Modern Chinese courses to strengthen proficiency in speaking, listening, writing, and reading. On-campus intensive summer Chinese instruction has been offered at the University of Minnesota at two levels for more than 15 years. Within the Chinese Program, you will find the Chinese Flagship program, one of only eight Flagship programs in the nation.
