Particularly in the 21st century, our AHE has acquired new developments while economy, society as well as science and technology are progressing. The developments are displayed not only in the considerable specialties, but in the various ways of running schools and in the annually increasing numbers of the enrolled students and AHE colleges, universities. As a branch of the whole educational system, the AHE is most directly connected to society. It is vital and irreplaceable to social progress. Though our economic restructuring goes further, a series of problems are still existing in the present AHE, such as in the Curriculum system, Curriculum arrangement, and in the teaching materials, which restrict development of education in minority regions and development of west regions in china. So the curriculum structure of agricultural universities in minority regions must be reformed.The author tries to explore on the reform of the curriculum structure of AHE of a-gricultural universities in minority regions in the 21st. As one of the agricultural universities in minority regions, the same problems with other universities in minority regions still exist in AHE course structure of Inner Mongolia Agricultural University (IMAU). Thus, my thesis takes the AHE course structure of IMAU as an individual case to research reformation, according to the goal of adult education in minority regions, the guideline of AHE curriculum structure in minority regions is to combine with adult students' knowledge structure, psychological and physiological features, to require allmajors base oneself upon all the process of education, to properly deal with the relations of moral, intellectual and physical education, of basic courses and specialized courses, of optional courses and obligatory courses, of in - class and after class, of theory and practice, of the whole body and its parts, of the main subjects and subjects closely related to them. We will elaborately design our course structure at the request of our goal and principle of teaching. Those new scientific and technological achievements and social progress will be continually enriched into teaching. Restructure the courses to improve the system to be more comprehensive and systematic. We' 11 try to cover the increasingly wide scope of knowledge with limited courses.
