You can find information on degree requirements in Section 3 of the Undergraduate Bulletin. Whenever reviewing the Bulletin it is important to always look at the edition marked with your entering year, if it is available.

Students will explore the Liberal Arts curriculum by taking courses across the academic divisions of Arts & Humanities, Natural and Applied Sciences, and Social Sciences. For most students this will include a Common Core course titled China in the World, several Foundation or Distribution Requirement courses, language courses in Chinese, English, or a third language depending on proficiency, and courses related to majors they are considering. Students should consult their advisors when selecting courses starting the first year and continuing through to graduation.

Note: When reviewing the Undergraduate Bulletin students should consider both their desired academic and career path and select courses in consultation with advisors to ensure they stay on track to degree completion and graduation.

Outside of 14-weeks language courses, you will have two intensive 7-week sessions each semester. These will typically be comprised of two 4-hour courses each term, but that can be different depending on which term a student is in and which requirements they have left to fulfill. Classes are held Monday through Thursday during the week. 

There will be group advising and registration sessions during orientation. You will enroll yourself through DKU Hub during orientation week.

Each student will be assigned their academic advisor in August prior to New Student Orientation. Several factors (e.g., advisor load, interest, region) will be considered when assigning a student to an advisor but these factors will not be known to the staff making assignments unless the student fills out their academic interest survey before orientation. Incoming students should be sure to watch their email as this email will be sent out from this office sometime in August, once all Chinese and International students have been confirmed.  In the interim, students can contact with the Office of Undergraduate Advising at advising@dukekunshan.edu.cn for further questions related to majors and course offerings.
