Chinese language and literature majors go to the United States to study for graduate school

After graduating with a major in Chinese language and literature, the best way is to go to the United States to study Teaching Chinese as a Second Language under foreign language education. Columbia University, Harvard University, and New York University all have MASTERs in this major. After graduation, you can obtain a teaching qualification certificate (qualification certificates are different in each state) and then teach Chinese in public junior high schools and high schools. Nowadays, the most popular foreign language in American junior high schools and high schools is Spanish, followed by Chinese, and Chinese is becoming more and more popular. This major has good prospects.

Living expenses and tuition fees depend on the school and the city where it is located. As far as New York University is concerned, it takes 44 credits to complete this major, and each credit costs $1,100. Plus registration fees, health insurance, etc., it is estimated that completing a degree will cost $50,000. As for living expenses in New York, as long as you don't live in Manhattan, rent is 500-600 US dollars a month, food is 200-300 yuan, transportation card and mobile phone charges, etc., which add up to more than 1,000 US dollars a month. After two years of master's degree, living expenses are about 30,000.

By working part-time, you can earn back living expenses at most. When I was studying, I got a job as a teaching assistant. I earned $1,200 a month, which covered my living expenses. The tuition will be paid by the family, Kaka...

The exams you need to prepare for are TOEFL (at least 100 points) and GRE (over 500 points in the VERBAL part). No matter how you say it, your GPA should not be lower than 3.3. This makes it easier to apply.

BTW, this major is pretty good among liberal arts majors (if not compared with science, engineering and business majors). I just graduated from New York University this year, but I studied TEACHING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. After graduation, I found a job teaching English to new immigrants at a community college. My best friend (we were teaching assistants together when we were studying) ) She found a job teaching Chinese to children at the China Institute in New York.

Wish you good luck!
