Educational Philosophy of Combining Chinese and Western Education
- Education management with the guidance of Chinese education experts and university presidents from the United States
- Cooperation with professors, teachers, and returning scholars from American universities to create academic courses
- The Chinese academic system is combined with the American credit system
- The Chinese tradition of emphasizing knowledge-based education is fused with the American emphasis on innovative education

International Talent Training Methods

    Foreign teachers' English language teaching, original textbooks, periodicals, audio-visual teaching materials, and an English language learning environment produce students with a high level of oral English, listening, and translation skills. Students can take part in degree courses taught in the United States which gives them the advantages of both the Chinese and Western educational systems, thereby leading to an integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

    The university organizes student exchanges every year, invites various foreign delegations to carry out cultural exchanges, and holds a variety of large-scale international activities to give students an introduction to global political and economic development and foreign cultures, improving their international awareness.
