The concentration, in line with federally-funded Chinese Flagship guidelines nationwide, consists of 35 units of lower and upper division language training, many of which are specifically tailored to students in the Flagship program, plus 9 units of coursework in linguistics, culture, classical language, and GWAR. Unique to the Flagship Concentration is a 3 -unit content course taught in Chinese by a Chinese-proficient specialist in another subject area. Flagship students must also complete 12 units of Flagship-specific Study Abroad arranged through the Flagship Office, which will include coursework and internship components. Flagship study abroad units will be applied towards the Complementary Studies requirement.

* GWAR overlay: Student will satisfy University GWAR requirement by taking one GWAR offering from the Chinese Program or Department of Foreign Languages. Current GWAR offerings include CHIN 601, CHIN 612 (overlay with core requirement) and FLL 400 (overlay with upper division elective). ** Required of all candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese are 12 units of Complementary Studies, which must come from courses bearing a prefix other than CHIN. Complementary Studies for the Chinese major can be satisfied via four possible routes: (1) FOREIGN LANGUAGE: 12 units in any foreign language other than Chinese (may include up to 3 units of FL prefix courses); (2) STUDY ABROAD: 12 units of course work taken in an approved study abroad program (including CSU Study Abroad, SFSU Bilateral, Chinese Flagship, and SLI Translation-Interpretation programs); (3) 2ND MAJOR / MINOR / CERTIFICATE: 12 units of course work taken as part of a second major, a minor or a certificate; (4) RELATED SUBJECTS: 12 units of course work in related disciplines with the approval of a Chinese Program advisor. Related disciplines typically include linguistics, literature, philosophy, history, education, and any aspect of greater China, East Asia, or Asian Americans. Where a course with a non-CHIN prefix is taken as a core requirement or elective for the Chinese major, the said course may also (doubly) count towards Complementary Studies only via the Study Abroad option or the 2nd Major/Minor/Certificate option listed above. Students satisfying Complementary Studies through the Foreign Language option are allowed a maximum of 3 units of overlap of FL-prefix courses between Chinese major and Complementary Studies units. Students satisfying Complementary Studies through the Related Subjects option are not allowed to double-count major and Complementary Studies units. *** Prior to submitting an application for graduation, candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese must present evidence of having completed a Culminating Experience Project. The Culminating Experience Project can be completed through one of three options: 1. STANDARDIZED TEST OPTION: The student shall submit evidence of having passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK), the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL), or the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) for Mandarin Chinese at the appropriate level. The following grade levels are treated as passing:  Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK): Level 4 or higher  Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL): Level 3 or higher  Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI): Advanced low or higher 2. WRITING PORTFOLIO OPTION: The student shall submit a writing portfolio with evidence of advanced level academic and/or professional writing in both Chinese and English. The portfolio must contain at least one work of Chinese language academic or professional writing developed out of a writing assignment submitted for credit in an upper division course taught in Chinese, and one work of English language academic or professional writing developed out of a writing assignment accepted for credit in a GWAR course. 3. FLAGSHIP CAPSTONE OPTION: The Flagship Capstone option is available only to students accepted into the Chinese Flagship Program. Students in the Chinese Flagship Program must choose the Flagship Capstone Option, which consists of a "Capstone Year" abroad, to be implemented once the student has reached proficiency benchmarks set by the Language Flagship and has been recommended by the Council of Chinese Flagship Directors. There are currently two supported Flagship "Capstone Year" programs. (1) Nanjing University Flagship Center, administered by Brigham Young University and the American Councils of International Education: one semester of study at Nanjing University followed by a four-month, full- time professional internship. (2) Tianjin Normal University Flagship Center: two semesters of study simultaneously with a part-time internship. COMPARISON CHART (revised to 2013.06.15)
