The w88 casino of Public Administration of w88 casino was established in2006Year1At present, the college has formed a complete talent training system from undergraduate to master to doctoral students. There are three undergraduate majors: Administrative Management, Customs Management, and Public Affairs Management. At present, the college has one first-level subject master's degree program (with five second-level academic master's degree programs) and one professional master's degree program (MPA, Master of Public Administration)。
The following is the text record:
Moderator:Hello everyone, welcome to the interview program of People's Daily Online. With the arrival of the graduation season, students are wondering whether they can find a job in their major, how practical it is in society, and whether the w88 casino's teaching can keep up with the development of society. Faced with these problems, the People's Daily Online Education Channel has launched a series of interviews on the w88 casino's professional development trends and student employment backgrounds. The guest we invite to the studio today is Assistant Dean of the w88 casino of Public Administration, w88 casino,MPAMaster of Education CenterRen Wu ChengzhongDr. WelcomeWuThe arrival of the Doctor. Hello.
Wu Chengzhong:Hello host, hello all netizens.
Characteristic majors have a long history of cultivating talents at three levels: bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees
Moderator:I am very happy to invite you todayWuThe doctor explains the professional situation related to public management. We know that the earliest customs major in your institute was in1974Established in 10498_10511|, not far from today40years old. We just mentioned that the newly added public utility management major is200710591_10652
Wu Chengzhong:The current development situation should be said to be very good. Let me briefly talk about the current situation of the w88 casino. w88 casino of Public Administration was established in2006Year1In March, its predecessor was called Humanities and Administration. Currently, the college has formed a talent training system from undergraduate to master to doctoral students. The following is divided into several majors. For example, at the undergraduate level, we have three undergraduate majors, one is the administrative management major. The administrative management major offers two distinctive directions, one is called the foreign-related administrative management direction, and the other is called the foreign-related economic management direction. The second one is called Customs Management major. As you just mentioned, this is our college’s long history, tradition, strength and characteristics. It was founded in197411390_11463
The third major is public affairs management. There is a direction called cultural undertakings management, which was established in200711820_11951200411979_120222004Starting to establish undergraduate majors in four universities in 12050_12070|, we are2007The undergraduate program of cultural management was launched in 2008. It can be said that it is one of the first key undergraduate colleges in our country to establish professional education in cultural management. This is the third undergraduate major.
In addition to the undergraduate level, we also have master’s and postgraduate training levels. In this regard, we currently have a first-level master's degree program, and there is also a professional master's program calledMPA, is the Master of Public Administration. Under the first-level master's degree program in public administration, five second-level scientific master's programs or academic master's programs have been established to mainly cultivate academic talents, research-oriented talents and high-level talents who have both theory and practice. Of these five master's programs, one is in administrative management and the other is in educational economics and management. These two are already two majors and two master's programs in the admissions catalog of the Ministry of Education and the Degree Office of the State Council. In other words, it belongs to what we often call a mainstream major that everyone has.
In addition, we have also set up three majors that we want to create distinctive features, which are not in the academic catalog of the State Council. For example, customs management, the undergraduate course in customs management is included in the catalog. The first featured major is customs management, which is self-established. The second is cultural industry management, and the third is public economic management. These three are specialty majors. Additionally, we have aMPAProfessional master’s degree program, in addition, we also trainraisePh.D. student, training in public policy under the PhD program in Finance under Applied EconomicsDirectionalPhD candidate.
Let me put it briefly again. As mentioned earlier, customs management is our specialty. As a traditional major, we have a long history of administrative management and master's degree training. For example, we have also trained a large number of high-quality talents for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries. In addition, in cultural industry management, we started relatively early and have a relatively high positioning, that is, internationalization. It should be said that we currently have a high reputation and reputation in the country. This is the overall picture of our college.
Strong teaching staff
The cradle for cultivating government civil servants and senior administrative talents in export-oriented enterprises in foreign-related economic fields
Moderator:Many of us who are familiar with the w88 casino of Public Administration of the w88 casino will see two lines of text when we open your w88 casino’s website when we have time. In fact, they are the same as just nowWuThe situation described by the doctor coincides with the situation. It is the cradle of cultivating government civil servants and senior administrative talents in export-oriented enterprises in the field of foreign-related economics. Therefore, we also want to know how we equip teachers when we train these talents. Is it just the teachers we do research in the w88 casino, or will we invite some government civil servants or corporate executives from outside to come to the w88 casino to discuss some topics in this area with our students?
Wu Chengzhong:First, let me introduce to you the positioning of our college, w88 casino philosophy and our talent training goals. The motto of w88 casino is to be knowledgeable, honest, and diligent in seeking. Our college has three teaching buildings, which are named after erudition, integrity and exploration. In addition, the philosophy of our college is to be virtuous, serve the public, cultivate oneself, and educate people. In addition, our discipline development ideas are called mainstreaming, developing characteristics, strengthening foundation, and emphasizing practice. This is the path to the development of our discipline. The goal of our future college is to build our college into a public administration teaching and research base and a public policy consulting service center with important national influence and high international reputation. This is the philosophy and discipline development ideas of our college as well as the long-term goal of future college development.
Our current talent training goals are as follows, focusing on cultivating high-quality application-oriented talents in the public sector, especially specialized management talents in China's foreign-related management agencies and public institutions. Our graduates need to have strong public consciousness and public spirit. They should have solid professional knowledge, broad knowledge, outstanding foreign language skills, and relatively high overall quality. This is our talent training goal. You just asked about the faculty. Since our positioning, the talents of the college, and the positioning of the college emphasize foreign affairs, our faculty structure is divided into three sections. The first part is full-time teachers. Currently, the number of full-time teachers in our college is43People,33Individuals have doctoral degrees, including postdoctoral fellows4People, professors9People, associate professor20People. Our teachingDivision teamThe doctorate rate is77%, is considered very high in the w88 casino of Public Administration of key universities. Second, as mentioned earlier, the teaching staff is relatively excellent. Basically, when the w88 casino recruits a teacher, there will basically be fifty or sixty overseas Ph.D.s who submit their resumes, which is fifty to sixty to one. The competition is very fierce. Thinking of becoming a teacher in Foreign Economics and w88, including the w88 casino of Public Administration, is probably a wish of many college students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. Therefore, our selected talents are very good. This43Among the teachers, there are probably49%Have an overseas background, so the foreign-related things I just mentioned are also reflected in the overseas experience of our own full-time teachers. Our overseas background is very strong, and many of them use bilingual teaching.
The second faculty team is recruited from outside. External teachers mainly come from government departments and enterprises, and these are senior managers. For example, in terms of administrative management, we have hired alumni who graduated from the English major in foreign w88 and economics. The alumnus’ name is Zhou Wenzhong. Zhou Wenzhong is the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States, and is now the Secretary-General of the Boao Forum. Zhou Wenzhong is the honorary president of w88 casino of Public Policy and Management. In addition, we have also hired scholarly leaders with high theoretical standards from important ministries and commissions such as the Communist Youth League Central Committee, the Central Organization Office, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to serve as external teachers in our college, and some are directly hired as part-time professors.
For example, from our collegeMPAis a master's degree in public administration. According to the requirements of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Ministry of Education of the State Council Degree Office, they must be equipped with off-campus tutors. Our lineup of off-campus tutors is quite strong. We were the first batch last yearMPA’s off-campus tutor has been hired18bit, this18bit,17We are from the central ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Culture, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Central Establishment Office, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Civil Service Bureau, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. There are also some scholars and leaders from local places, such as the executive deputy mayor of a city in Ningxia. He has a doctorate from Peking University and a postdoctoral title in economics from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In addition, some are from Beijing, and their academic qualifications are generally relatively high.
For another example, let’s say we have a major in cultural management. We have hired leaders from some companies to teach students directly. For example, when it comes to tourism management, we will ask the CEO of the National Convention Center or the CEO of a certain department of China International Travel Service to give them direct lessons. This is interspersed. There are also CEOs of exhibition companies. Such a team of teachers is very helpful for our students to master practical abilities. This is the second aspect.
In the third section, we have a summer international w88 casino. Summer international w88 casino is also a feature of w88 casino. Our principal emphasizes the need to strengthen our international features every year7There is a summer international w88 casino in May, this is2012Starting from year,2013Invited to the Summer International w88 casino of the w88 casino78Outside国的Professors and associate professors are all well-known foreign scholars in a certain field. They come to teach our undergraduate and graduate students and study for a month. But each person teaches one course, and the content taught in one semester is just right30class hours, last year78bit, this year is101OutsideCountryProfessorHe deputyProfessor. As far as the cultural management major is concerned, we invited10A well-known foreign professor. Such a strong team of foreign teachers also provides a strong guarantee for us to cultivate foreign-related economic management talents.
Eight aspects reflect international characteristics
Moderator:In the course of your narration just now, we can hear that an obvious feature of the w88 casino is internationalization. We would like to ask you to cultivate your own advantages in public administration professionals. In terms of internationalization, how do we do it? Could you please introduce it to us?
Wu Chengzhong:The characteristic of w88 casino is internationalization, and all colleges are working hard to implement this characteristic. As far as w88 casino of Public Administration is concerned, we do this from the following aspects. First, in terms of the professional direction of admissions, I mentioned just now that our administrative undergraduate major has two research directions, one is foreign-related administration and the other is foreign-related economic management. This clearly shows that the talents and goals cultivated by our administrative management major are different from those of other key universities. They are both mainstream and have our own unique positioning.
The second is the training plan and curriculum. The training program and curriculum are unique to us. For example, for undergraduates, it is called Public Utilities Management Major and Cultural Utilities Management. The characteristics of the training program for such an undergraduate major fully take into account the characteristics of internationalization. Among the courses, for example, we have international cultural w88 marketing, Chinese and foreign cultural policies and regulations, and other courses that reflect internationalization and a global perspective. For another example, we just mentioned that there is a self-established second-level master's degree program called cultural industry management. Regarding cultural industry management, we established a new master's degree program last year. It is currently among the first batch in the country and the first among universities in Beijing. In its training program and curriculum, we have considered several research directions: the first is the direction of international cultural w88 and cultural industry management; the second is international cultural industry planning, policy and strategy; the third is public culture and leisure management. In terms of curriculum, we have set up courses on international cultural industry planning and management, international cultural w88 and marketing, international cultural industry investment, financing and policy, etc. This is a comprehensive curriculum that reflects international characteristics.
The third direction is to focus on the internationalization of the teaching team, through which we can promote the international characteristics of our college. Our strategy is to go out, invite in, or recruit in. For example, I just talked about the degree of internationalization of the full-time teachers in our college. Currently, our full-time teachers43Individual, teacher with overseas study and overseas experience21People, including those who obtained the highest academic qualifications overseas4People, there are teachers jointly trained at home and abroad3Individuals, so the teaching team has overseas experience49%, which is relatively high.
The second reflection of the internationalization of teachers is that our internationalized external teachers present a super luxurious lineup. For example, I just mentioned two numbers, one is2013There are foreign teachers in summer w88 casino78bit, available within the territory101bit,2014The summer vacation is101There are so many foreign teachers in the summer, which are very rare in China, because it requires a w88 casino to have extraordinary courage.
In addition, how many people have been hired by w88 casino of Public Administration? The following were hired by the college last year8, they offer courses in public administration or cultural industry management. But our students can also choose courses of interest offered by other colleges, including management. This year the w88 casino of Public Administration hired18Foreign teachers, the number of courses opened18doors, we are the first in the w88 casino in the number of foreign teachers hired and the number of courses offered in various colleges of the w88 casino. This has shown the degree of internationalization of our college. Our college has strong international communication capabilities. For example, I just mentioned the cultural industry management major. This month, in addition to the ten well-known scholars from Europe, America, and Australia who we hired ourselves for cultural industry management, there are also cultural research scholars hired by other colleges. There are probably at least no less than15More than one cultural course, for our undergraduate graduate students in cultural management, it is equivalent to taking a semester's class at Harvard College in one month. It can be understood this way. Because each course is the content of a semester course. In this way, there is a foreign teacher who is a well-known cultural management expert in the United States. They have undergraduate to doctoral programs in cultural policy. He was surprised. He hopes to bring their undergraduates and graduate students here next year to listen to our summer w88 casino classes and come to our summer international academy classes. They are all in English. He does not have them. It is said that its arts management is the strongest in the United States. This is the internationalization of teachers.
The fourth is the internationalization of students. For students to internationalize, the first step is to go abroad. Our undergraduate students,2012year, studying abroad30People,2013The year is27People, international exchanges are relatively frequent. For example, we start with2005Starting from the year 24733_24793|, we have signed an undergraduate exchange program with a university in Austria. Junior students will go out to study for one semester, and the credits will be mutually recognized. Currently, six batches have been carried out, including42A classmate studied there and reported that he gained a lot when he came back. We have several international projects like this. In addition, we also encourage students to go for internships overseas. For example, we have a Disney project, which means that they go to the United States to take professional courses in leisure and tourism industry management at university for a period of time, and then go to Disneyland for internships. They can get a year's salary and learn some professional skills, which can improve their international competitiveness for employment.
The other one is joint cultivation. For example, we are cooperating with Georgia State University in the United States and are discussing1+1CooperationMPA’s joint training project, in addition, we have previously co-organized with Northumbria University in the UK1+1Jointly cultivatedMPAProject. The other is to recruit in. We not only go out, but also recruit in. This can also make the students' learning environment international. For example, our college recruits approximately 1,000 undergraduate, master, and doctoral students every year for international students.30People, they all need academic degrees.
The fifth aspect reflects the internationalization of students’ opportunities. We encourage students to actively study abroad. For example, a classmate majoring in cultural management received a PhD in arts education management and policy from Ohio State University in the United States this year. This should be said to be relatively early among the same majors in our domestic universities. I think it is a very good thing.
The sixth aspect is research on internationalization. Our research team is characterized by internationalization, and we form a team together with foreign scholars. For example, we have a policy consulting and research team that promotes the overseas investment and operation of Chinese cultural enterprises. We cooperate with foreign teachers.
The seventh aspect is the internationalization of conferences. During our annual summer vacation, every year7On Saturday of the second week of January, we regularly hold the International Cultural Management Annual Conference of the w88 casino. Invited this year12countries20Many scholars participated. This is a conference on cultural management with truly international significance in mainland China, with a very high academic level.
The eighth aspect is the internationalization of the magazine. We have launched a Chinese journal called "International Cultural Management", which is currently the first magazine in cultural management with an international name. Second, we are preparing an English magazine, and our future goal is to make it a magazine within five to ten yearsCSSCIMagazines are related to cultural management.
From eight aspects, our college has implemented the characteristics of internationalization very well.
Graduates have high employment quality and strong competitiveness
Moderator:Cong WuBased on the doctor's analysis, I think the employment of students in the w88 casino must not be a problem now. The current concern is not the number of students' employment, but the quality of students' employment. Next pleaseWuThe professor will give us a brief introduction to the students in the college. How do they consider employment issues? Some of their choices. As teachers, how would you help them analyze them?
Wu Chengzhong:The general employment situation of undergraduates and undergraduates in our college is as follows,20%'s classmates will work as civil servants, and their main destinations are central and local state agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Customs System, and the Ministry of Commerce. For example, undergraduate students majoring in cultural management, first graduates,2011People have gone to the customs since 2006, and most people go to the Customs Management College.20%, this is a ratio. The second ratio is also20%, that is, go to banks, the four major accounting firms, financial institutions, etc., this is the second one20%. third20%It is to study for graduate w88 casino and study abroad, to study abroad for graduate w88 casino and to study for graduate w88 casino in China20%. The fourth one is30%，30%of undergraduate graduates have entered international and well-known private enterprises, and10%This is probably the case when entering foreign companies.
In the past few years, I had two classmates in the Administration Bachelor's degree. They were classmates and both were admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Our students are still relatively competitive. In recent years, the overall characteristics have been reflected. Employers have reported that our students are of relatively high quality and can get started quickly. Some graduates have become important backbones in a certain field. For example, in the specialty of customs management, we have trained about three deputy directors of foreign customs administrations in recent decades. The youngest one is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee and Secretary of the Municipal Committee of a large economically developed province in the south.43Served as deputy director of the General Administration of Customs at the age of 30, then as executive deputy governor there, then as member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the city's municipal party committee. He is a typical example of an excellent civil servant. The customs management major has been cultivated for about30The official bureau-level leaders of the customs commissioners above. Someone has said that there is one graduate like us for every six people in the customs system. This is the case for undergraduate employment.
The employment situation of graduate students is as follows: one is30%It is to enter the government and public institutions. Additionally30%Enter major state-owned banks. The third section,30%Most of them enter state-owned enterprises and other enterprises, such as private enterprises and so on. There are also a few people who choose to go abroad or study for a doctorate at home, such as the classmate I just mentioned.
Generally speaking, this is the situation. Judging from the location of postgraduate students and graduates in recent years, they are mainly in the eastern coastal areas, and the employment of postgraduate students in Beijing accounts for 1% of the total.65%. What is different from previous years is that the number of people entering private enterprises has increased, and the number of people seeking grassroots employment, such as becoming village officials, has increased. We feel that students’ choices should be said to be more rational. It also reflects an interest in their profession.
Cultivation of students’ public awareness, sense of dedication, and sense of responsibility for the country and the nation
Moderator:From an international perspective, what kind of trend will this type of major be in the future? If you could provide some suggestions for the future development of students in this major, what kind of support would you give them?
Wu Chengzhong:In foreign public administration majors, their students are employed either in government departments or in non-governmental organizationsNGOOrganization, work in these departments, and some work in enterprises. I also met with some undergraduate and graduate students at the w88 casino of Public Politics at the University of California, Berkeley, and they talked to us about their employment situations. they engage inNGOThe proportion of organizations is larger, non-governmental organizations. Work as a civil servant in the government, and those who are particularly outstanding will work as a civil servant in the government. We know that foreign civil service systems have broken the iron rice bowl system, and those with truly lofty ambitions and special political talents are making waves in it. Some particularly outstanding students from the w88 casino of Public Administration have become national leaders and high-level government leaders. In China, more of our students choose graduates like w88 casino. First of all, they may choose stable government agencies and institutions, and then they go to banks. This is related to the industry competitiveness of w88 casino. Probably those who enter financial companies, undergraduates have400According to incomplete statistics, the entire w88 casino has about 1,000 people.
Moderator:In fact, it accounts for the majority of the proportion.
Wu Chengzhong:A considerable proportion. The proportion of our students who go to the banking system is quite high in the industry. Compared with other universities, we should be among the top in the country. In addition, more people go to state-owned enterprises, but overall, the proportion of people who go to non-governmental organizations is relatively small. This may also have something to do with the students' understanding. There are also fewer people who go to the central and western regions, and fewer people who work at the grassroots level. From my point of view, I hope that since our students study public administration, what does our college’s public administration and talent training embody? If you add a major in foreign language and economics and management law, you have to hold three swords and have three skills. This is a different feature that distinguishes us from graduates majoring in administration and public management in other colleges. We have strong foreign language skills. Secondly, our majors must take strong and high-quality courses from other colleges, such as international w88 in the International Business w88 casino, international business management in the International Business w88 casino, and international business law in the law w88 casino. These are brand courses of their colleges, and they must be required to take them as electives. Therefore, the foundation of the management method is also very good. Third, my major is also very unique and I have mastered three skills. Since you come to study and receive education in the w88 casino of Public Administration, as we just mentioned, the motto of w88 casino is to be morally virtuous, serve the public, cultivate oneself, and educate others. We must cultivate our students to have a sense of public awareness, dedication, and a sense of responsibility for the country and the nation, not just high salary, not just stability. I personally hope that they can consider more the needs of our country, go to the central and western regions for employment, and increase the proportion in this area. I believe that China's outstanding politicians in the future must come from the grassroots, most likely from the central and western regions. If they are well tempered in the eastern, central and western regions, they will be better promoted. Furthermore, we hope that they will go to grassroots organizations, such as village committees, or go to local cities to play their role, because local areas need talents more.
Strengthen case teaching and establish an internship base
Moderator:I believe you have been a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, and last year visited world-class universities such as Harvard University, MIT, and Princeton University. I think you must have your own experience of the similarities and differences between countries in the w88 casino of Public Administration. Can you share the comparison between China and foreign countries with the students at the end of today's program?
Wu Chengzhong:I have been to the public administration or public policy schools of several top world-class universities in the United States, such as the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, University of Chicago, Columbia University, MIT, and Princeton. The public administration or public administration schools of these universities have different professional settings from ours. They place special emphasis on practicality and cultivate very practical management talents. For example, Berkeley's w88 casino of Public Policy has majors in urban planning and public policy management. It has a master's program called Master of Public Policy, as well as health and health management, etc., which are different from ours. In addition, at the w88 casino of Public Policy Management at UCLA, they also have a pre-planning major, which they believe is also very important. Domestically speaking, some are set up according to the second-level majors under the first-level discipline of public administration, and some are set up according to the faculty or research characteristics of the college. There are similarities and differences. However, I feel that foreign universities place great emphasis on heuristic teaching and interactive teaching in professional teaching training. This is their characteristic. Our university classrooms should learn from their teaching methods, including talent training. They also emphasize case teaching.
I think these should be enlightening to our country, especially w88 casino of public administration. For us, we hope to strengthen case teaching in the future. For example,MPA’s classmates, through various cases, discussions, role plays, and role exchanges.
Moderator:This isEMBA38213_38227
Wu Chengzhong:Yes, now public management also emphasizes case teaching, such as what we are required to doMPAProfessional teachers, a certain proportion of each course in each semester is used for case teaching, and we have a dedicated case study room. In addition, it is very important to strengthen heuristic teaching. Instead of the teacher filling the room, the classroom should be lively and interactive. Foreign classrooms are really lively. Undergraduate classrooms are round tables with stepped teachers. The teacher is like a director in the middle. The teacher does not necessarily talk much in class, but the students discuss very enthusiastically. The students do not stand up. Everyone has a sign with a name on both sides. They sit and talk while raising a hand. After saying this, they continue to talk about that. I feel that students from mainland China are not so enthusiastic in speaking. There are two to three Chinese students in each class. Our classrooms should emphasize heuristic teaching and interactive teaching. Others, such as strengthening the cultivation of practical ability, are all important. Therefore, it is also important for us to establish an internship base in public administration and combine it with some of our existing majors. In fact, the cultural industry management major has established multiple batches of internship bases, and overseas management and administrative management have also established such internship bases. We will further strengthen this trend in the future.
Moderator:Thank you, I am very grateful todayXie WuThe doctor analyzed the characteristics of the w88 casino of Public Administration at the w88 casino in a very detailed, in-depth and professional manner, including the future development direction. We hope that the w88 casino of Public Administration at the w88 casino can exert its strengths in the future and cultivate more professional management talents for the country. senseXie WuThank you, doctor.
Wu Chengzhong:Thank you host, thank you netizens.
Moderator:Thank you, and thank you all for watching our program this time. Goodbye.
