University, which undertakes the construction, reform, and teaching management and implementation of the General Basic Courses, Eurasia DNA Courses, and General Elective Courses. It adheres to providing students with a high-quality liberal arts education. It is committed to improving students' knowledge structure, expanding their abilities in various areas, and enhancing their literacy to cultivate talents. At the same time, the School of General Education also provides diverse spiritual and cultural output for all students and faculty through various cultural and sports activities.
Since 2011, the School of General Education has completed a comprehensive reform of the public foundation curriculum based on research and study of well-known institutes at home and abroad. Focusing on the solving ability, communication ability, lifelong learning ability, cultivation and moral reflection, and global vision, it has built a new general education curriculum system and developed more than 90 general education courses for students around these five core competencies, which not only enriches the "menu" of general education courses but also makes our talent cultivation goals clearer and more targeted. We have carried out a comprehensive reform of the course content and teaching methods, giving a new learning experience to students.
The School of General Education attaches importance to team building and takes many effective measures to strengthen faculty construction. After years of teaching reform and practice, it has initially built a teaching team and curriculum reform team led by professors, with full-time teachers as the main body and middle-aged and young teachers as the main force, making the team more reasonable in age, education background, and title. The institute has established four curriculum centers, one department, several curriculum reform teams, and project groups focusing on the five core competency modules. Each curriculum team implements project management and strengthens the management and guidance of curriculum reform. The establishment of the project teams stimulates the collision of ideas among the teachers during the curriculum reform.

This year marks the 14th anniversary of the comprehensive cooperation between the School of Culture & Communication of Xi'an Eurasia University and the Missouri School of Journalism of the University of Missouri in the United States. Over the past 14 years, Teaching Week has highlighted forward-looking topics and the latest developments and trends in the journalism sector. Such a wide range of academic lectures, practical activities, and cultural experiences help students open the door to the future of journalism. Under the close cooperation between the two sides, the School of Culture & Media has made remarkable achievements in frontier discipline development and international talent cultivation. By sharing teaching resources and experience, the two schools learn from each other and grow together, which not only achieves the goal of jointly improving teaching quality and academic research but also provides a broader international exchange platform for students.
Today, the Missouri Teaching Week of the School of Culture & Communication, Xi'an Eurasia University has become a national academic brand. In 2022, in response to the university's "local internationalization" strategy, the School of Culture & Media launched bilingual classes on network and new media majors to be dedicated to creating an international learning environment for students and providing them with international cutting-edge professional education. The bilingual professional course is a characteristic curriculum requirement for students of the bilingual program of the School of Culture & Media. International teaching topics and design cases are adopted for the course, aiming at cultivating students' international vision and understanding the cutting-edge knowledge and practical content of the discipline.
As an international characteristic activity of the School of Culture & Communication, Missouri Teaching Week is of great significance to students' personal growth and career development. Teaching Week is carried out in the form of face-to-face teaching by foreign professors and student practice workshops, which exposes students to a wider range of discipline knowledge and cutting-edge research results. Exposure to diversified learning opportunities and educational resources not only enables students to broaden their academic horizons but also greatly improves their academic development, practical ability and comprehensive competence. The Missouri Teaching Week Bilingual Program of the School of Culture & Communication will place more emphasis on strengthening academic exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States to cultivate journalists with a global perspective. The program focuses on cultivating students' practical ability while teaching them academic theories. Through this program, students can have an in-depth understanding of the status quo and challenges of the journalism industry by visiting news organizations and interviewing sites through news reporting practices and think deeply about important topics such as journalistic ethics, responsibility, and social impact.
In the future, the School of Culture & Media will continue to introduce international advanced teaching concepts and methods, further expand the scope of exchange fields and deepen cooperation projects, provide students with more practical opportunities and academic resources in terms of student exchange programs, joint research projects, academic conferences, and other aspects, and cultivate their global vision and cross-cultural communication skills to meet the needs of the increasingly globalized journalism industry.
