MIT's
Chinese Classes: An Overview
MIT's Chinese curriculum
offers two tracks for learning Mandarin: regular
track for zero beginners, and streamlined
track for learners with some, but often limited, background
in Chinese or any of its dialects. Both tracks have elementary- and intermediate-level
classes, and students having completed classes in either track are eligible
to take integrated advanced-level
classes.
