STUDENT ADMISSION AND ENROLLMENT
Hwa Nan's entering students are all female, mostly 18 to 19 years old. They are all from Fujian Province, some from rural areas but most from large cities. In order to enter a college or university in China, all high school students take an exam, the score of which determines what higher educational institution they are qualified to attend. Since Hwa Nan is a three-year college, it is considered a technical career-oriented higher education institution that awards diplomas rather than degrees. Hwa Nan Departments and Student Numbers (2009-2010)
Each year's entering students are placed in a class of 25 to 35 students. They take their courses and carry out school activities as a unit. Students remain with the same class throughout their three years along with an advisor chosen from the full-time teaching faculty.
The true Hwa Nan spirit is captured in:
The motto of Hwa Nan : "Receive in order to Serve" FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION Policy and major operational decisions are made by a Leadership Committee under the direction of the President. The members are the President, three Vice-Presidents (in charge of Business, Education, Personnel), the Finance Chair, Head of Political Affairs, plus each department chairperson. All but three are alumnae of old Hwa Nan and played major roles in its resurrection. Full-time teaching faculty numbers 75 (men and women)consisting of Professors, Associates, Assistants and Trainees. Faculty development includes further education in both USA and China universities. Foreign ESL teachers vary in number each year from 13 in 2008 and 14 in 2009. |
