CHIN 310: Professional Internship

The Professional Internship in Chinese Language and Cultures is aimed at enriching the student’s experience in practicing and using Chinese in a professional context, either on campus or off campus, in a domestic or international setting, and in face-to-face mode or remotely. The student documents the experience in a manner to be determined by the supervisor. The supervisor determines the student’s required language proficiency for the experience, supervises the internship, records the number of hours completed by the student, and evaluates the internship documentation. The internship may be repeated for credit. Fifty hours of work is required for each one credit. (This course is a credit/no credit course.)
