Chapter 1428: Chapter 758: Nationally Recognized Top-Tier Departments and Majors (Subscription Requested)

Director Liu from the Environmental Studies Department raised an issue that indeed needs to be addressed.

Otherwise, purely setting a uniform admission score threshold would be tantamount to a one-size-fits-all approach, the pitfalls of which Ding Yue is well aware of, and he certainly is not the kind of incompetent principal who would opt for such a measure.

Thus,

the specific matter of setting the undergraduate admission score threshold still needs to be carefully discussed.

It’s certain that admission score thresholds must be set, but it’s crucial to clarify which academic departments and majors require such thresholds and which do not.

For instance, departments like the Culinary Arts, National Academy, and Esports differ significantly from the Mechanical and Computer Science departments, where setting an undergraduate admission score threshold would likely do more harm than good.

Actually,

Ding Yue has a clear understanding that traditional and popular departments at Mist City Arts and Science University indeed need set admission thresholds, given the high difficulty of the subjects these students are required to learn.

Departments such as Physics, Aerospace, and Mechanical Engineering require the study of complex and abstruse subject matter.

It would naturally be preferable for these departments to attract students who meet or exceed the undergraduate admission threshold, as with these capable students, combined with the educational enhancements Ding Yue provides to Mist City Arts and Science University, there’s a much higher chance of developing top students, geniuses, or even super geniuses.

Who wouldn’t love outstanding students like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei?

"Hmm, regarding the issue Director Liu mentioned, it indeed requires careful consideration. What do you all think?"

Ding Yue nodded and then looked towards the other department directors in the meeting room.

"Principal Ding, this issue indeed needs to be emphasized. We must not set admission thresholds only to see other departments and majors wither away."

Director Chen Ping expressed his viewpoint.

As the director of the Architecture department, Chen Ping is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after directors at Mist City Arts and Science University, given the great reputation and the status of his department as a top discipline.

Yet, Director Chen Ping is not selfish and considers other less prominent departments and majors.

In fact, none of the department directors at Mist City Arts and Science University are selfish; they are all somewhat influenced by Principal Ding.

"Principal Ding, how about considering this?"

After thoughtful deliberation, Director Qi Chunsheng found a possible solution to the problem, but it would be up to Principal Ding to make a decision.

"Director Qi, tell me, what is your suggestion?"

Ding Yue asked, turning his attention to Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Principal Ding, our Mist City Arts and Science University currently includes highly sought-after departments like Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Architecture, Medicine, Physics, and Energy specializations. For these departments, we can set focused undergrad admission thresholds."

Director Qi Chunsheng started proposing.

"Director Qi, are you suggesting a tiered admission score threshold?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue immediately grasped the idea.

This tiered admission score approach seemed like an excellent solution to the problem.

Indeed, Director Qi Chunsheng, as the director of academic affairs, has remarkable capabilities. Ding Yue felt that this tiered threshold approach was very suitable for the practical situation of Mist City Arts and Science University.

As the saying goes, practical situations require practical analysis. Adapting recruitment planning to fit the local conditions of Mist City Arts and Science University is the best approach.

"Exactly, using a tiered admission score threshold could effectively resolve the issue."

"That indeed is a good idea."

"I think it’s feasible."

"This is a great solution."

In the meeting room, all department directors nodded in agreement with Director Qi Chunsheng’s proposal.

Seeing this, Ding Yue said, "Well, if everyone agrees there’s no issue, then let’s adopt this not just for this year, but for many years to come at Mist City Arts and Science University. Fortunately, as a private institution, we have high operational flexibility."

At this moment, the advantage of private universities became apparent, allowing for autonomous selection of recruitment plans, unlike public universities that must adhere strictly to set admission scores.

"So next, let’s discuss which departments and majors fall into which category."

Ding Yue then looked at all department directors and said.

Now that it has been decided to set a tiered admission score threshold, the current and most crucial issue to resolve is determining which of the over twenty departments and numerous majors at Mist City Arts and Science University fall under each admission score category.

Based on the national admission score guidelines, there are categories like key admissions and regular undergraduate admissions. At Mist City Arts and Science University, there’s also a category without thresholds.

Although Mist City Arts and Science University has been recognized as a key private university by the state, not all departments and majors can recruit students solely based on key admission categories, as it’s estimated that not enough students exceeding those scores would choose Mist City Arts and Science University, given the abundance of prestigious universities nationally.
