We welcome you to our Chinese Studies Program which focuses on equipping students, faculty, staff, and employees with the knowledge of the Chinese language, culture, history, literature, geography, contemporary politics and economics, and Chinese philosophies and religions. This certificate program is intended to prepare the students, especially health-care professionals, with the background, understanding, and practical first-hand "China" experience and professional skills to work in a Chinese community, interact with, and serve Chinese patients in a clinical setting here and abroad.
Our program is consonant with the traditional spiritual and educational emphasis of community service and global outreach of Loma Linda University Adventist Health Sciences Center. With the emerging geopolitico-economic importance of China and its relationship with the United States, such health-care professional preparation is highly recommended for cross-cultural and scientific-technological exchange.
Presently the Chinese Studies Program offers 8 courses of 4 units each, including:
To earn the Chinese Studies Certificate, students must successfully complete a total of 21 units of the above-listed courses with a letter grade of B or better. We invite you to an exciting and rewarding educational experience as you enroll to join us in pursuit of academic and cultural enrichment.
