Over recent years, YNAU has been strengthening efforts to restructure majors in accordance with Yunnan Province's comprehensive major evaluation indicator system covering courses, teachers, teaching materials, examinations and employment. In 2020, YNAU canceled Architecture, Cultural Industry Management, Radio and Television, and Public Service Management, and stopped enrolling students for Animation, Calligraphy, Art education and other six majors. Now, YNAU has 26 majors of enrollment in total. Seizing the opportunity brought by the national Double-Ten-Thousand Plan, YNAU has focused on connotation development and characteristic development to continuously improve talent cultivation ability. In 2019 and 2020, YNAU's nine undergraduate majors were identified as national first-class undergraduate majors and six undergraduate majors were identified as provincial first-class undergraduate majors. In 2020, six courses were selected among China's first batch of first-class courses, and in 2021, two courses were identified as national demonstration ideological and political education courses.

For the 14th Five-Year Plan period, YNAU will make more efforts to adjust major structure, optimize resource allocation, highlight characteristic advantages, constantly improve YNAU's talent cultivation ability, and strive to develop YNAU into one of China's first-rate arts university with international clout and distinct characteristics.

Background Introduction

ShanghaiRanking's history can date back to 2003 when it started releasing the "Academic Ranking of World Universities." As one of the world's most influential and authoritative university rankings, it is known for its objective and stable ranking approach. Now, it has become a reference for governments and universities in many countries all over the world for developing strategic goals and relevant policies.

In 2021, it released the Best Chinese Universities Ranking by Major for the first time. Covering nearly 30,000 major development points and more than 500 undergraduate majors belonging to 92 categories, it is the Chinese universities ranking by undergraduate majors covering the most majors and having the most majors evaluated so far. Notably, the unique three-tier professional competitiveness evaluation framework covering university, discipline and major is adopted and 19 indicators and five indicator categories of university condition, discipline-specific supporting ability, student pool of a major, employment of a major and condition of a major are developed. On this basis, dynamic monitoring evaluation is conducted for 60,000 undergraduate major development points of more than 1,200 universities.
