HSMC is as a high educational college and provides university education in progress. It now considers the four major reforms of the academic system. I think the most appropriate reform is Liberal Art College model and the least appropriate reform is Residential College System.
For the reform of the Liberal Art College model, the cancellation of the program major can provide the students freedom to study broadly in diverse subjects they adore in the bachelor more freely, not just mainly focus on their major. The mission of HSMC is to give an all rounded and international learning platform to students (reference 1). This reform can totally be sufficient the diverse interests of students who consider the above special role of HSMC.
