The construction of first class undergraduate specialties is an important measure to promote the "four new" construction, strengthen first class undergraduate programs, cultivate first class talents, comprehensively revitalize undergraduate education, and improve talent training ability. It is also the core indicator of the "double first-class" construction of colleges and universities.
The university attaches great importance and actively plans for the construction of first-class majors. On the one hand , according to the national and regional development strategies, HWU has comprehensively deployed and done a good job in the top-level design of specialty development. On the other hand , the university takes "focusing on four major groups (strengthening one group, ensuring one group, increasing one group, and adjusting one group), and building four specialty groups (normal, business, home economics, and cultural creativity)" as the guiding ideology and practice path of undergraduate specialty construction, and promotes the optimization of specialty structure and improvement of connotation.
At the teaching affairs meeting, President Hu Sui requested to unite the strength, wisdom and strategy of the whole university, and resolutely achieve a new breakthrough in building the national first class undergraduate specialties. To this end, the university has built a working mechanism that the leaders of the school pay close attention to, the Office of Academic Affairs makes overall planning, and all colleges promote. This breakthrough has fully reflected the new achievements of the major construction, promoted the new development of the connotation of education and teaching, and created a new situation of talent training.
