Extended information What is a subject category?
Generally speaking, the subject catalogue is divided into subject categories, first-class subjects and two disciplines.
The first-level discipline is called professional category in undergraduate education, that is, professional category; Two disciplines is called major in the catalogue of undergraduate majors, which is a subdivision of major categories.
For example, literature is a discipline, then the Chinese major in colleges and universities is a major category, that is, a first-class discipline; China ancient literature belongs to two disciplines after the subdivision of Chinese major.
Simply put, it is a discipline category, a first-class discipline, two disciplines. It should be noted here that bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree are awarded according to disciplines.
According to the Catalogue of Disciplines for Degree Awarding and Personnel Training issued by the Ministry of Education (updated in April, 20 18), the professional training of colleges and universities in China is divided into 13 categories according to disciplines: philosophy, economics, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine and science.
Above 13 professional categories, senior three students and parents should first understand when filling in their volunteers in the college entrance examination; Don't read volunteer materials for a long time, you don't even know the most basic subjects. As a result, I finally applied for the wrong major and regretted it when I went to college.
There are 92 first-class disciplines in this 13 discipline, that is, discipline categories; Under these 92 first-level disciplines, there are 506 undergraduate majors; Of course, the number of specific majors is fine-tuned every year, but the overall number remains at around 500.
