Chinese Language Certificate Program

Thank you for your interest in the Chinese Language Certificate Program at Rice University. This program is generously supported in part by the Freeman Foundation.

ACTFL Testing Update Click here for updated information.

Created in response to a growing demand for certified teachers of Chinese language in Texas and the southern United States, this program was designed to build on the substantial strength that Rice has in Chinese language teaching and Asian studies. The courses are taught by Rice faculty or those from other higher education institutions and provide content not readily available in other area teacher certification programs. Please refer to the course descriptions for details.

We are no longer accepting applications for this program.

Please e-mail us with any questions you may have.
