Undergraduate Degree Programs
The School attaches great importance to undergraduate recruitment and takes vigorous action to attract the highest-quality students. As a result, the quality of students recruited has increased yearly. The School has established four major goals for its undergraduate programs, based on its mission to achieve consistent excellence in all education activities:
(1) Ensure That Faculty Members Focus on Teaching. Since 2014, the School required professors and associate professors to teach undergraduate courses, counsel students, and answer their questions in face-to-face sessions. In the three-year period from2014 to 2016, the proportion of professors and associate professors teaching undergraduate courses increased from 90.72%, to 95%, to 97%, respectively.
(2) Create a New, Close-Knit Community of Faculty and students. In keeping with the teaching concept of ‘training for talents,’ the School has established various forms of a ‘community of faculty and students that promote close positive interactions both in and out of the classroom. One example is the tutorship program for undergraduate students, in which each bachelor’s degree student is assigned a faculty tutor who guides the student in developing a personal value system and using effective study habits and learning activities throughout the period of instruction.
(3) Implement Comprehensive Curriculum Reform. The primary motivation for curriculum reform in Business School is the commitment to create exciting new courses that maximize efficiency and learning outcomes while improving the interaction of faculty and students. Business School has a history of innovation and reform in undergraduate business education through course construction, periodic updates of teaching contents and methods, and revisions in talent training modes. These forms have consistently produced high-quality courses. For example, in 2015, the course, Principles of Management by associate professor Lin Feng, and the course, Macroeconomics by associate professor Xu Xuejun, were both designated ‘Shanghai Quality Courses.’
(4) Explore New Opportunities in Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education. The School has formed a personnel training mode with innovation and entrepreneurship at its core. The mode combines teaching, high-quality training, experiments, and social practice in a seamless initiative to improve communication skills, strain capacity, practice abilities, innovation talents, social skills, and the overall competitiveness of students. The aim is to produce top-rate management talents to meet the knowledge and leadership needs of the modern economy.
