About the UCLA Chinese Language Program

Our Chinese language offering covers four levels: elementary, intermediate, third year and fourth year advanced modern Chinese.

For both the elementary and intermediate levels we offer two separate tracks, one for students without any prior Chinese background and another for those with Chinese backgrounds. In addition, students who speak Cantonese and who wish to learn to speak Mandarin can take Mandarin for Cantonese Speakers.

If your time is limited you can take our summer intensive Chinese courses for about nine weeks to earn three quarters' worth of course credits. Finally, we offer a year long classical Chinese series to complement our modern Chinese offering.
