THE CURRICULUM AND CREDIT DISTRIBUTION

(a) general education curriculum (compulsory 24 + (6) elective credits + 8 credits)

General education curriculum includes two parts. The compulsory and electives. Electives are in accordance with the Hunan University general elective courses (Quality Education) program. The general compulsory courses are as follows:

(b) subject core courses (24 credits)

(c) college core courses (27 credits)

(d) major core courses (20 credits)

(e) major elective courses (29 credits)

(1) major limited elective courses (8 credits)

The students must take 2 courses from the following, in order to strengthen the major and professional foundation, a total of 8 credits.

(2) Major all-you-can-choose elective courses (21 credits)

Major elective courses using a combination of concentration and optional courses, students first selected all the courses of one concentration, and then from other concentrations (we encourage cross-concentration elective courses), in total choose seven courses with a total of 21 credits. Courses offer are as follows:

Note:

1) We encourage students take major or cross-major elective courses, credits should be not less than 50% of “should have” credits.

2) During the period of study, if the student participated in academic competitions or published academic papers and the college identified (see < College of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Hunan University Academic Research Classification Guidance and Technology Innovation Achievements Guidance >), you may apply to substitute two elective credits.

(f) centralized practice (33 credits)
