<p>If you are willing to travel farther, Middlebury would be perfect. It has a fabulous Chinese department with an array of upper level language courses and literature courses. There is an International Studies major with an East Asian track or a Chinese major. Even in the first year, the course of study is very rigorous with seven classes a week (including five regular classes and two “drill” classes). They are soon adding a third destination in China for study abroad in Middlebury programs.</p>
