What courses are Flagship students required to take?
During their freshman and sophomore years, Flagship Program participants will be required to take designated Flagship content and adjunct Chinese language strategies courses each term. Content Course: These courses are designed for the Flagship program and will be taught exclusively in Chinese using the expertise of the over 25-Chinese speaking faculty members on the UO campus. The content course will be a rotation of natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities classes. Content courses focus on honors-level learning in that subject and not the mechanics of language learning. Language Strategies Course: Advanced academic language skills will be taught in the adjunct Language Strategies course. This class, based on subject matter and materials from each specific content course, will have a strong emphasis on language learning strategies, specifically aimed at improving students reading and writing skills.
