School characteristics
First, comprehensively cultivate 1+2 (one mind, two tools) talents.
The so-called "one mind and two functions" of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics refers to cultivating modern business talents with innovative thinking and mastering foreign languages and computer skills. "One heart", that is, the students we cultivate must have good political quality and noble thoughts and sentiments, have innovative thinking minds, and be able to explore and innovate by using the financial knowledge they have learned; The "two tools" require students to be proficient in English and computer. In the relationship between "heart" and "tool", "heart" is the commander in chief and the soul; "Heart" commands and dominates "tools"; "Tools" support the "mind" and enrich and perfect it.
Although it is only in a subordinate position, the role of "tools" cannot be underestimated. The college believes that in the contemporary society characterized by information technology and globalization, these two tools will be the "stepping stones" for talents to seize market opportunities. These two stepping stones will open the door to the world for students and pave the way for future life.
Second, large-scale enrollment, regardless of major.
As the predecessor of Tianfu College of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, the School of Electronic Commerce of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics has tried and successfully implemented a large-scale enrollment model as early as four years ago, and summed up many models and methods worth learning from in several years of practice. Now it has the mature conditions to implement large-scale enrollment and won the unanimous recognition of students and society.
Tianfu College of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics implements "all-category enrollment regardless of major admission", which is a unique and advanced school-running mode formed by inheriting the long-term experience of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and referring to the school-running characteristics of famous foreign universities. Its significance lies in that the college enrolls students according to major categories (including business administration, computer science and technology), and students choose courses independently after entering the school. The college has formulated corresponding learning curriculum requirements for each major. Students who want to be graduates of this major must complete all the courses of this major within four years of university and obtain corresponding credits through the examination. This means that as long as you can complete all the credits of the selected major in this category, every student can have many opportunities to choose a major, which fundamentally avoids the conflict between students' hobbies and personality characteristics and majors. For example, a freshman admitted to the Department of Business Administration of our college can freely choose any major and any course in all majors of business administration according to his own hobbies after entering the school. After one year's compulsory course study, the student initially decided to choose marketing major after entering the sophomore year, so he chose the course focusing on marketing major; But through a semester of professional courses, he gradually found that his personality is not suitable for future work in marketing, but more suitable for financial management. So he began to choose all the courses of financial management from his sophomore year, so that when he graduated from his senior year, he could get the diploma of financial management as long as he completed the corresponding credits of financial professional courses.
This scientific model of "large-scale enrollment" and "large-scale teaching" enables every student to "learn what I love" and change students from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn". In order to avoid students' impulsiveness and blindness. At the same time, the college implements the dual tutorial system, cares for students, invites elites, experts and scholars in the workplace to give lectures or express their opinions, and gives guidance on students' specific problems. At the same time, we also evaluate each student's career orientation to help them find the most suitable life direction. With these guarantees, every student can understand: What do I like? What can I do? What does society need me to do? In this way, students can decide what to study by themselves.
Therefore, the implementation of "large-scale enrollment" by Tianfu College of Southwestern University of Finance and Economics has been unanimously recognized and praised by students and society!
Third, the international teaching mode: bilingual teaching
In order to meet the needs of internationalization, the college vigorously carries out bilingual teaching, and all bilingual courses use foreign original English textbooks. By reading these professional English textbooks, students can directly learn the world's cutting-edge economic management knowledge and concepts, master the essence of thinking and cultural characteristics, and thus greatly expand their horizons and ideas. At the same time, professional teachers with good English level, after in-depth study of the textbook content, explain the textbook knowledge to students in easy-to-understand language, which not only improves the professional level of students, but also improves their English language quality in an all-round way.
Can you imagine that an ordinary non-English major can attend classes, do homework and take exams in an all-English environment and complete an all-English paper of three or five thousand words? Here, the students who have just entered the sophomore year proudly tell you: no problem!
In order to cooperate with bilingual teaching and improve students' English application ability, the college opened a small oral class of 20 to 25 students in the first semester, all of which were taught by foreign teachers. A large-scale English drama, which is written, arranged and performed in English by teachers and hundreds of first-year undergraduate students, is that foreign teachers from the United States complete the final exam of students' oral English during the performance.
