School Overview & Development History
The MUC School of Continuing Education at Minzu University of China was preceded by several other related MUC college initiatives dating back to the 1950s. In the early period, foreign experts were invited to participate in its establishment and major construction work to fulfill urgent political, economic, and cultural development needs in ethnic areas during that time. Generally, training of students is carried out in the form of lectures or special reports conducted by faculty members both in China and abroad and by leading comrades of state organs. Already by the beginning of the 1990s, nearly 150 training courses were being taught by the MUC programs and initiatives that preceded the colleges' founding. More than 7,000 students have been trained until now, and many students have gone on to take on distinguished roles encompassing national unity projects, frontier stability projects, and other ongoing modernization initiatives.
School Focus, Beliefs & Development Objectives
The MUC School of Continuing Education of Minzu University of China was established in 2000 based on the former Cadre Management College, the Continuing Education Division, the Night-time Correspondence Department, and the Training Department. It is an important part of Minzu University of China as it is serving ethnic areas and performing social functions. Furthermore, it plays a key role in the management of continuing education within MUC.
The school's preceding departments and initiatives began to implement adult education in 1983 following the spirit of the National Party School Work Conference and the spirit of the Chengdu Committee of the National Civil Affairs Commission. After nearly 20 years of exploration and development, the MUC's related adult education continues to be based on the mission of being "Based in the Capital Society while being Oriented Towards Ethnic Areas," fully integrating the teachers' resources, strictly standardizing curriculum design and teaching management, and carefully creating many applications. Strong and distinctive professional characteristics and quality and overall social satisfaction regarding the program content have all been increasing year after year. Furthermore, the quantity and scale of adult education for students at MUC ranks at the top for all of Beijing.
