To complete the minor, a student must complete 25 Modular Credits (MC) in coursework. This is to include:
- YLC2202: Intermediate Chinese 2 (or higher-level Chinese language course, modern or classical [YHU2212: Classical Chinese]); and
- 20 additional MC from the courses listed below, including at least one each from the Humanities and Social Sciences divisions.
Comparable courses taken through off-campus study or at the National University of Singapore (NUS) (up to a limit of 12 MC) and comparable Yale-NUS courses otherwise not on the current list may be approved at the discretion of the programme’s Advisor. Courses taken for a major cannot be double-counted toward the minor, and all courses for the minor taken at Yale-NUS or NUS must have a letter grade.
