Study abroad is strongly encouraged both for language acquisition and the attainment of cultural competency. Up to three courses, taken abroad in a Chinese-speaking country are eligible to fulfill the requirements for the minor. Up to two courses, from an accredited university are eligible to fulfill the requirements for the minor. In all cases, whether the credits are from a Mills-affiliated study abroad program or transfer credits from any institution, the credits equivalency, if any, will be determined by the Mills Chinese Language and Culture Program director.
