WKU’s federally funded Chinese Flagship Pilot Program is actively redefining the paradigm in language education.

  • Integrating Chinese language instruction in every stage of the undergraduate educational path
  • Incorporating a series of mandatory study abroad experiences and internships throughout students’ collegiate careers
  • Transcending traditional disciplinary boundaries that separated language education from learning within the major

The program is designed to bring talented students who start with no knowledge of Chinese up to Superior levels of proficiency by the time they graduate from college.
