Abstract
China's higher education experienced a period of great changes in the 1990s, especially after the implementation of socialist market economy in 1992. The reform of undergraduate curriculum became the focus of the whole reform of higher education. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the characteristics of the undergraduate curricular reform in this period. It examines a series of reforms took place centered on the curricular reform at the system level and the institutional level, which include restructuring of higher institutions, redefinition of specializations, changes in the ratio of the students by fields of study, and structure of curriculum. Though the reforms of undergraduate curriculum in the 1990s addressed almost the same problem, that is the over-narrowly specialized education, the path was more rapid than that in the 1980s. The reform of undergraduate curriculum in the 1990s is not only a process of broadening of training, but also a process of changing of images about the products of undergraduate education.
