[quote=Anonymous]I'm just not finding what I'm looking for anywhere.

My sons are almost through their 3rd year of Mandarin Immersion grade school, and will be fluent by the end of next year (as we're told... I don't speak it, but they sound great to me!) They will continue in Mandarin immersion through middle school, possibly through high school.

They're only 8 now, but I'm a planner and want to know what their options will be in college, so we can guide them in those directions, based on their skills.

Looking at a few local colleges, I see Asian Studies programs where you learn Mandarin, Chinese art and literature, etc. But they'll already speak Mandarin. And I personally don't see as much earning potential in a BA degree, as opposed to a BS. Are there colleges out there with programs geared for fluent Mandarin speakers? I was thinking something along the lines of a Mandarin business school. Or do you have to go for a dual program in Business and Asian studies? Or possibly International Studies? I want them to be able to continue using their Mandarin and earn degrees that will take advantage of this language skill.[/quote]
