Arts and science courses are as follows:
1. Required courses: 6 credits for Chinese and 0/2 credits for English. The above total 18 credits. In addition, you should choose at least 4 credits and 8 credits in the following group (if there is a big department in this group, then you must choose another department for such 4 credits or 8 credits). For example, if you major in philosophy, group c) must choose mathematics or psychology. Group A: China, Britain, and Western Literature (no matter whether you choose 4 credits or 8 credits, you must have literature courses); Group b: history, politics, law and economy; Group c: philosophy, mathematics and psychology; Group d: biology and geography; Group e: chemistry and physics. The above five groups should take at least 30 credits, and the total required credits should be no less than 56.
2. Main and auxiliary departments: students choose a department as the main department in the department. Then the main department teacher specifies the department, and then the students choose a department as an auxiliary department. The main course has at least 40 credits. Minor courses require at least 15 credits and at most 30 credits.
3. Elective courses: Except for the courses specified in 1 and 2, all courses are optional by students, but subject to the consent of the instructor. March 22 1926, University of Arts and Sciences. There are four departments in science: physics, chemistry, earth science and mathematics. Liberal arts include: Chinese, history, foreign languages, politics, economy and philosophy. The education sector includes education, psychology, physical education and rural education. The Department of Physical Education originated from the specialized course of physical education opened in February 19 15, with the aim of training sports directors and managers in schools and local public sports venues above the second level. At that time, due to the urgent need of sports talents in society, the educational system of sports specialty was only two years when it was first established. 192 1 year increased to 4 years. Pedagogy and psychology departments are also born out of special education courses opened in May 2008. The academic system of the first junior college was originally three years, and it was changed from 19 19 to four years in September. In view of the close relationship between education major and affiliated primary schools and secondary schools, in 19 19 and 1920, it is stipulated that the primary education curriculum and the post of director of affiliated primary schools, the secondary education curriculum and the post of director of affiliated secondary schools should be held by the same person respectively, so as to combine theory with experience. 1920 September adopted the "elective system", and the study courses were divided into two departments, pedagogy and psychology, which accepted girls. 192 1 summer, 37 people graduated from the first session. After the establishment of Southeast University, the departments of education, psychology and physical education were merged to form the department of university education to train educators, study pedagogy and popularize education. At the same time, a rural education department was set up to train rural teachers. Dongda, a combination of teachers and universities, is the first in China, which is very conducive to the cultivation of excellent teachers. Tao Xingzhi was the director of education, and Xu Yangqiu succeeded him after Tao Xingzhi left Dongda University.
All students of educational science must choose their courses according to the following academic rules.
1. Public compulsory general courses: (1) English, 12 credits; (2) Chinese, 6 credits; (3) Sociological gist, 1 credit; (4) Biology, 6 credits; (5) World trends, 3 credits; (6) Introduction to philosophy, 2 credits; (7) History of scientific development, 3 credits; (8) Physical education, 6 credits; (9) Vocational guidance, no credits, a total of 39 credits.
Students majoring in psychology must take (1) mathematics, with 4 to 8 credits, in addition to the common compulsory general courses; In addition to public compulsory courses, students majoring in physical education must take: (1) physics, with 3 credits; (2) Inorganic chemistry, 3 credits; (3) Organic and Physiological Chemistry, 3 credits; (4) Bacteriology, 2 credits; (5) Sociology, 4 credits.

3. Elective specialized courses: students majoring in pedagogy or psychology must take at least 32 credits in specialized courses; Those who choose the physical education department as the main department must study the courses offered by the physical education department for 67 credits (if one of the two departments of pedagogy and psychology is chosen as the main department, it can be included in their common required professional courses).
4. Take supplementary courses: All students majoring in educational science must take at least 20 credits of supplementary courses.
5. Elective courses: In addition to the above provisions, all students majoring in educational science can choose other courses according to the guidance of the undergraduate course.
The faculty of the Education Department of Dongda University is very neat, and many research works, such as The Improvement of Modern Primary School Teaching Methods hosted by Yu Ziyi, The Study of Modern Children's Psychology conducted by Chen Heqin, the testing campaign initiated by Liao Shicheng in the 1920s and its Dalton system experiments, have had an important influence throughout the country. Agricultural science originated from the specialized course of agriculture in Nan Gao. 19 17 since its establishment in September, the department has been aiming at cultivating specialized talents and developing and improving agriculture. The initial study period was 3 years, so 24 students graduated from the first class on June 1920. Later, due to the importance of agricultural education and the lack of agricultural talents and natural history teachers, 1920 was changed to four years. Hire more experts, increase instruments and equipment, increase intensive subjects of agriculture and natural history, and adopt course selection system. After the school was established, the branch school is one of the four branches of Dongda University, with seven departments of plants, animals, agronomy, horticulture, animal husbandry, sericulture and pests. 1926, animals and plants merged into biology department; At the same time, the agricultural manufacturing sector has been increased. There are 0/3 experimental farms/KLOC-with a total area of more than 3,900 mu.
After studying agricultural universities in the United States and Britain, the professor of this subject thinks that agricultural science in universities should not only train agricultural professionals, but also pay attention to the research and popularization of agricultural technology. When Dongda was founded, due to lack of funds, it could only focus on research except referring to the teaching methods of the best agricultural universities in the world. As for promotion, it depends on the intention of the administrative organs of the southeast provinces and the financial assistance given. This is different in several periods.
From Nangao to Dongda, Zou Bingwen has been the director of agricultural science. Wang (Department of Animal Husbandry), Zhang Guinong (Department of Pests and Diseases), Fei Xianer (French, Honorary Director of Sericulture Department), Guo Tanxian (Department of Agriculture), Ge (Department of Horticulture), Hu Xiansu (Department of Biology) and so on. The establishment of Dongda Agricultural Science has trained a number of scientific and technological talents for China's agricultural development, such as Jin Shanbao, who later served as the president of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Yang, Feng Zefang, Wang Jiazhen, Zhang, Dai Songen and others who were elected as academicians of China Academy of Sciences. At the same time, Dongda Agricultural Science has made great contributions to the development of grain and cotton production in China, especially to the production and promotion of cotton in northern Jiangsu.
All agricultural students must choose courses according to the following rules.
1. The regulations for selecting courses for agricultural students are as follows: (1) Required courses (even the calculation of preparatory courses): Chinese, 6 credits; English, 12 credits; Chemistry, 10 credits; Physics, 4 credits; Geology, 3 credits; Botany, 4 credits; Zoology, 3 credits; Agricultural problems, 2 credits; The above total 44 credits. In addition, the following groups should take at least 3 credits: Group A: Botany and Plant Pathology; Group b: zoology and entomology; Group C: Department of Soil Science, Crop Science, Agricultural Tools Science and Horticulture; Group D: Animal Husbandry Department, Sericulture Department and Agricultural Manufacturing Department. (2) Compulsory courses: At the end of the first year of undergraduate education, each student should consider a department or a discipline as a professional course, and ask a professor of the department or the discipline to be the instructor and designate the compulsory courses. (3) Choose courses at will: except as stipulated in (1) and (2), students can choose courses of agriculture department freely with the consent of the instructor; If you choose other science courses, you must obtain the consent of the instructor, and the credit shall not exceed 16.
2. After studying for one year, you must go to the designated place for internship, at least two summers. The annual summer internship time is 8 weeks, and the working time is 48 hours per week.
Any undergraduate who wants to choose a subject from the second semester must reach an agreement with the tutor at the end of the first semester, and then it will be decided by the professor meeting. Where the selected subjects have been decided, they shall not be changed without the consent of the instructor and the approval of the professor meeting. 1920 When Dongda University was founded, the technical specialized courses in Nangao were the foundation of engineering in universities, and only department of mechanical engineering was established at first. Dr. Mao Yisheng, who has made great achievements in studying in the United States, returned to Nanjing and was hired by the president as a professor of engineering, Dr. Mao Yisheng. 1923 In March, Mao Yisheng, together with other engineering professors Li Shiqiong, Zeng, Tu Yuqing, Yang Zhaolian and Liu Runsheng, jointly wrote to President Guo Bingwen, the Professors' Meeting and the Council, proposing to add two departments of civil engineering and electrical engineering. The proposal wrote: "Although special education advocates strength, it attaches importance to one thing and loses another, and the organization is not perfect. The academic system of this university pays equal attention to agriculture, industry, commerce, literature, science and teaching, which has far-reaching influence. This combination is unique in China. Even the spirit of this university. Only agriculture and commerce have established a foundation and achieved remarkable results. Independent engineering has not developed so far, and in the long run, it will be the ruins of universities. Colleagues and others follow the established rules of Europe and America, and pay close attention to the demand of China, and feel that the project cannot exist without expanding the present situation. I would like to state the reasons for adding two departments of civil engineering and electrical engineering as follows for discussion. If approved by the conference, the engineering department will be very lucky and the university will be very lucky. " Their suggestion was accepted by the school. At that time, Donghua University added two departments of civil engineering and electrical engineering, with considerable engineering scale, making it the most engineering department in China University. However, due to the shortage of school funds, 1924 Engineering was closed, and Hehai Engineering University and Hehai Engineering College were established.
1. research: including engineering theory, improving industrial raw materials, methods and equipment, solving engineering and industrial problems, and building domestic public utilities.
2. Teaching: department of mechanical engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering.
3. Investigation and promotion: editing engineering books and newspapers; Investigate the present situation of transportation, manufacturing, industrial economy and engineering education, and try to improve it. At that time, the university charter stipulated that universities could set up research institutes. Peking University and Beijing Normal University have successively set up research institutes. Southeast University has a complete range of disciplines and outstanding achievements, but it lags behind other universities in setting up research institutes. To this end, the teachers and principals of Dongda University are very dissatisfied. 1in the autumn of 926, more than 20 well-known professors from various disciplines of Dongda University jointly proposed the case of establishing a university research institute. However, due to the constant war, social unrest and lack of funds, Dongda Research Institute failed to enroll students after all.
"Southeast University was the only national university in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and it was tied with Peking University as the two pillars of higher education in China." Many disciplines in Southeast University, such as the Biology Department founded by the founder of modern zoology in China, the Geography Department founded by Zhu Kezhen, a great master of geography (including geography, geology and meteorology) in China, and the Mathematics Department founded by Xiong Qinglai, who first introduced modern mathematics to China, were all the earliest established in China University. Dongda ranks first in all disciplines in the country. At that time, there were more than 200 faculty members and students 1600. There are many famous teachers and talents there. They are called the highest institutions of learning in the southeast of China. Dr. Meng Lu, a famous American educator and director of the Asian Department of the World Education Association, praised Southeast University as "the first promising modern institution of higher learning established by the China government" after inspecting major universities in China.
