Program overview
Secretarial Studies might sound a bit traditional, but it's actually a very practical major. In simple terms, it teaches you how to become the "lubricant" in the workplace—efficiently handling information, coordinating relationships, and managing daily affairs. Core courses include Secretarial Practice, Official Document Writing, Archives Management, Office Automation, Communication Skills, Business Etiquette, etc. In Chinese universities, this major particularly emphasizes Chinese writing and document processing skills, because many organizations (especially government and state-owned enterprises) have high requirements for document standards. Additionally, you will learn some basics of management and psychology to better understand people and things. Suitable for students who are detail-oriented, organized, enjoy interacting with people, and are willing to be the "glue" of the team. If you are interested in administration, management, public relations, or want to develop comprehensive workplace skills, this major will suit you well.
