College rules state that no more than 45 credit hours above 2110 (or 45 plus six hours of Honors work) may be counted toward the College requirement of 120 total credit hours. Hours above 45 (or 51 for Honors students) are interpreted by the College as “add-on” credit. CHIN 1010, 1020, 2110 do not count toward the 45-hour maximum. Of the 30 hours to be counted toward the major, normally no more than 20 may be transfer credits from other universities in this country or abroad. Transfer credit from other universities in this country or abroad for courses marked with an asterisk (*) will be considered only in exceptional cases; normally, no credit toward the major will be given for these courses unless taken in residence.
B.A./M.A. Exceptionally able students
(particularly those who enter the University with significant preparation in
Chinese studies from high school or with other backgrounds, or those who
participate in study abroad opportunities at CU) may be eligible for the
combined B.A./M.A. degree. Students on the B.A./M.A. program will complete both degrees during five years of study at CU. If you wish to apply for this option, you must consult the Undergraduate Advisor early in your career at CU to establish your program of study.
