Business (Chinese Language and Culture) ,BA
Business, Chinese, Culture, Management
ASU is no longer accepting new students to this program. Students interested in pursing a Chinese language track should apply to the language and culture concentration of the BA in business.
The mission of the concentration in Chinese language and culture within the BA program in business is to create global business professionals who can function well culturally and linguistically in the business environment in China and domestically. As China becomes an increasingly important participant in the global economy, and as the manufacturing and financial sectors become more globalized, the need for business professionals skilled in communicating in the Chinese language is growing.
With a network of 26 flagship programs at 22 institutions of higher education across the U.S., the language flagship program graduates are prepared to take their place among the next generation of global professionals, commanding a superior level of proficiency in languages critical to U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. This program prepares participants to function professionally in Chinese within diverse business fields.

As globalization continues to impact the way business functions, study abroad programs provide vital experiences to students. Study abroad programs allow students in the Chinese language and culture concentration to practice language and cultural competency-building for global business success. Students gain valuable skills employers are looking for, including communication skills, flexibility, motivation and a global perspective on business applications worldwide. Successful graduates of this program are familiar with cultural customs and nuances of conducting business in China.
The W. P. Carey School of Business recommends these study abroad programs for students majoring in business with a concentration in Chinese language and culture.
This degree program provides students with the fundamental business skills, linguistic training, critical thinking and intercultural competencies required to work in the increasingly globalized world markets that now rely on trade and commerce with China.
Graduates of this program are equipped to play a key role in companies and organizations seeking new markets or dealing with international interests in the U.S. and are suited to the demands of small-business enterprises as well as multinational companies.
Currently, there is a demand for Mandarin-speaking business professionals in the hotel and tourism industry and in the consulting, banking and finance, international trade, sports management and media fields.
