I think only Mike Geary is a full-fledged academician, but there may be
one or two others. Reed (undergraduate college of ca. 1,300) offers
Chinese language, literature, and history. See
http://academic.reed.edu/chinese/
Apparently we teach Mandarin. (Here's the course description for First
Year Chinese.)
Chinese 110
Full course for one year. A beginner’s course in standard (Mandarin)
modern spoken and written Chinese, aimed at building a solid foundation
in all its aspects: pronunciation (especially the tones), syntax, and
basic vocabulary. Attention is given to a balanced development of all
the basic skills of the language: listening and reading comprehension,
speaking, and writing. Pinyin is the romanization system used in this
and all other Chinese language courses. Both the traditional and
simplified characters are taught. Students are expected to read both and
write one of the two versions. Lecture-conference.
