Program overview
What does this major actually study? In simple terms, it systematically examines the development history of the Chinese Communist Party from its founding in 1921 to the present, including major events, figures, theoretical evolution, policy-making processes, and more. You will study core courses such as Basic Issues in CCP History, Sinicization of Marxism, Theory and Practice of Party Building, and Modern Chinese Political History. Many Chinese universities have strong research traditions in this field, such as Renmin University of China, the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, and Fudan University, with rich library and archive resources and access to primary documents. It is suitable for students interested in the intersection of political science, history, and sociology, especially international students who want to deeply understand China's political logic and governance model. If you enjoy analyzing causal chains behind historical events or want to figure out 'why China has come this far,' this major will offer you many insights.
