In addition to the cancellation of majors in May18, 37 new majors have been added, and these 37 new majors have been listed in the Catalogue of Undergraduate Majors in Colleges and Universities. In addition, 2046 new majors were registered, 77 majors were approved/kloc-0, and 93 majors were adjusted in degree-granting categories or years of study. I have to say that this professional adjustment is really strong. For example, there are 2,046 new record-keeping majors and 177 new approval majors, which add up to 2,223 majors, the most in the past three years.
The 5 18 major has been revoked, which is also the most in the past 8 years. Therefore, this adjustment has attracted the attention of the media and society. In fact, after careful study of the list of revocation majors issued by the Ministry of Education, the most revoked ones are management. For example, public utilities management and information management and information system were cancelled by 2 1 and 16 universities respectively. There is also the major of electronic information science and technology, which was revoked by 15 university. 13 there is no longer a product design major in colleges and universities.
As for why these majors were revoked, the reason is actually easy to guess. The main reason is that the number of students is not ideal, and students of related majors can't adapt to the needs of society. According to the public data of the recruitment website, the demand for public utilities management posts in 20 19 decreased by 3 1% compared with 20 18, and decreased by 37% compared with 20 19 in 2020. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for management majors to become the most revoked majors this time.
It can be said that this major adjustment has adapted to the needs of national strategy, scientific and technological innovation and social development in terms of new majors. For example, the top five majors are artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing engineering, data science and big data technology, big data management and application, and robot engineering. There are 130 universities in artificial intelligence alone.
The cancellation of major is the change from major setting to connotative development of quality improvement. For example, the management major mentioned above was revoked because it did not meet the needs of society. The ultimate goal of major adjustment is to build a scientific and reasonable undergraduate major structure.
