Mandarin class available in fall

Mandarin language courses will be added to the college’s curriculum next fall.

The college is offering the foreign language because Mandarin has eclipsed English as the most spoken language in the world, according to Department Chair of Modern Languages Javier Galvan.

“We wanted students to have one more option to fulfill their foreign language requirements,” Galvan said.

The 5-unit course will be available Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the fall.
