While putting this website together, I discovered that my alma mater is part of a nation-wide program to promote the study of Mandarin Chinese. From what I can tell, it’s a 5-year program that also allows you pursue a second major. It’s a smart move, many in the U.S. don’t realize it yet, but being a skilled professional fluent in Mandarin is going to be more and more important in the upcoming years.
Congratulations to the University of Mississippi Chinese Language Flagship Program.
