Asia has a population of over three billion people, and in our age of globalization the continent is increasingly relevant to Western life. The University of Vermont offers language instruction in Chinese and Japanese, the languages of the two biggest economies in Asian. Our goal is to provide the best possible instruction in the languages and literatures of these two countries, helping students gain greater understanding of Asian culture and the capacity to thrive in environments where these languages are spoken. Knowledge of the language and culture of China and Japan opens the door to a world of opportunity in business, government, education, the arts and many other sectors.
