Up to now, the Ministry of Education has approved three batches of national and provincial first-class undergraduate specialty construction sites, and 44 provincial undergraduate colleges in our province have been selected into 298 national first-class undergraduate specialty construction sites and 6 17 provincial first-class undergraduate specialty construction sites, achieving full coverage, and the total number of selected national first-class undergraduate specialty sites is 65 higher than the national average of 233.
The construction of first-class undergraduate majors is an important measure for the Ministry of Education to promote the construction of new engineering, new medicine, new agricultural science and new liberal arts, strengthen the construction of first-class undergraduate courses, build first-class majors, train first-class talents, revitalize undergraduate education in an all-round way, and improve the talent training ability of colleges and universities. It is also the core index of the construction of "double first-class" colleges and universities.
Starting from 20 19, a total of 1 176 1 national first-class undergraduate specialty points were built in three years, including 72 17 local undergraduate colleges.
In recent years, taking the first-class undergraduate specialty construction as an opportunity, focusing on the national strategy and the needs of Anhui's economic and social development, our province has continuously optimized the specialty structure, increased support and strengthened quality assurance, and the overall strength of undergraduate specialty construction in colleges and universities in the province has been continuously enhanced.
Strengthen specialty construction around the ability of service to support industrial innovation and development. Focusing on the talent and knowledge needs of the "four ones" innovation main platform construction, the "three ones" construction project and the strategic emerging industry agglomeration development base in our province, the construction plan of first-class undergraduate majors in our province has been compiled and implemented.

In the allocation of special funds for higher education, national first-class undergraduate majors are rewarded, including 6,543,800 yuan for liberal arts majors and 2 million yuan for science and engineering majors.
At the same time, colleges and universities are required to give the same proportion of supporting construction in the per capita funding. Up to now, a total of 248.5 million yuan has been allocated to support the construction of national first-class undergraduate majors and another 28 million yuan to support the construction of provincial first-class undergraduate majors.
