Chapter 676: Chapter 398: The Request of the Agriculture and Forestry Academy (Requesting Subscription)_1

Upon returning to the Administration Building, Ding Yue and his secretary, Wen Ruohan, chatted casually about the topic of full-cycle education services.

Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to organize and compile some data on the non-priority development departments of Mist City Arts and Science University for his perusal.

Ever since Ding Yue and Principal Xu Dongcheng jointly flew to Zurich, Switzerland, to invite Professor Yang Kaining, Ding Yue’s interest in the aerospace department—an unappreciated department of his own Mist City Arts and Science University—grew.

Perhaps in the first few years, Ding Yue wouldn’t be able to foster the development of these departments.

After all, his current focus is heavily on the departments of mechanics, computer science, medicine, film and television, and animation.

But the other departments should also be developed to some extent.

That’s why Ding Yue asked Wen Ruohan to compile the data for him to review; he then planned to allocate more funds to these departments.

Before Wen Ruohan presented the organized data, Ding Yue couldn’t help but ponder over the notion of full-cycle education services again.

He found it interesting to fantasize without spending any money, as he had nothing urgent to do at the moment anyway.

If he established an affiliated middle school, he could start cultivating potential students for his university from middle and high school.

Although Mist City Arts and Science University currently doesn’t set any thresholds or minimum scores for admissions, as the university continues to develop, it might have to implement such measures eventually.

When that time comes, how can the university admit those students who wish to enroll at Mist City Arts and Sciences University, but have poor grades?

This is where the affiliated middle school could be an excellent option.

After paying the tuition to the affiliated middle school, students can directly advance to Mist City Arts and Science University to continue their undergraduate studies.

Furthermore, Ding Yue realized that the affiliated middle schools or junior and senior high schools under Mist City Arts and Science University could cultivate top-performing talents.

If these exceptional prospective students were to attend Mist City Arts and Science University, wouldn’t that be akin to giving wings to a tiger, allowing it to soar?

Ding Yue felt a little excited at this thought.

"Principal Ding, here are the materials you requested on various departments," said Wen Ruohan, interrupting Ding Yue’s thoughts on full-cycle education construction.

She has already printed the basic information of various departments at Mist City Arts and Science University, which she had collected over the past few days by liaising with department heads and then compiled it all together.

"Good job."

Ding Yue affirmed Wen Ruohan’s efficiency, took the data from her, and began to review it carefully.

An hour passed unnoticed.

From the data compiled by Wen Ruohan, Ding Yue noticed that Mist City Arts and Science University invested heavily in the fields of computer science, mechanics, physics, architecture, and medicine.

These departments have also given adequate returns to Ding Yue, as he has witnessed the emergence of talented students within them.

Aside from these science and engineering departments, the fields of media and arts, specifically the academy of film and television, art department and animation major, are also developing quite satisfactorily at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Game design, a special major, has also received some investment from Ding Yue. However, whether this investment will yield results depends on whether the students of this major can develop the game engine Ding Yue is hoping for.

All the above-mentioned departments and majors are ones that Ding Yue has invested additional funds into for further development at Mist City Arts and Science University.

There are some others where Ding Yue has only provided basic educational funding and has not invested more.

For example, departments like aerospace, agriculture, economics, history, and other majors such as bioengineering, public administration, hydraulic and hydroelectric engineering, resources and environment, tourism management, textile and light industry.

After all, Mist City Arts and Sciences University has over a hundred majors, including some newly established ones. However, for the new majors, Ding Yue invests more than they do for traditional ones.

For example, the Institute of Traditional Chinese Studies, Culinary Arts School, eSports Academy, and others.

"I need to allocate some more funds to increase the educational spending for these remaining departments and majors. That way, we should be able to unearth more outstanding student talents," Ding Yue mused as he looked over the data.

While the Aerospace Institute is a department worth developing aggressively, given Mist City’s current capabilities, it would likely be a challenge to foster its growth. Hence, Ding Yue marked the Aerospace Institute as a long-term development target.

In the short term, he would gradually increase funding. Once Mist City Arts and Science University grows stronger, the Aerospace Institute can begin to shine its light.

Perhaps in Ding Yue’s lifetime, he might witness the birth of indigenous aircraft and spacecraft that his Mist City Arts and Science University helped research and develop!

Seeing Principal Ding so engrossed in his work, Wen Ruohan decided not to interrupt him.

She returned to her desk and continued her own work, arranging the subsequent itinerary for Principal Ding, and managing all information and documents. This way, she could easily retrieve them when Principal Ding needed them.
