Sumario:This article analyzes and discusses alternatives for the design of a curriculum for the teaching of Mandarin, from a Costa Rican academic perspective. Due to the increasing importance of bilateral political, commercial and cultural relations with China, the relevance of promoting the design of a bachelor’s degree in Mandarin, as one of the programs offered by the Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), is highlighted.
