Since the reinstitution of the college entrance examination in 1978, China's higher education has been truly on the track of sustainable development. In the past thirty years, institutions of higher education in China have always adhered to the education policy issued by the country and Chinese Communist Party and centered on the target of talents cultivation, meanwhile, they have adjusted working concepts and enhanced working methods in the college student affairs management ceaselessly, and made positive explorations on the reforms of college student affairs management. Over the years, the research on college student affairs management has been mainly confined to the domains of ideological and political education and advanced educational studies. In recent years, some disciplines such as psychology and sociology have expanded their research fields into colleges and universities gradually and provided numerous valuable directions for researches on college student affairs management as well as solutions that could be referred to and applied. However, the researches on college student affairs management are always isolated from management discipline and are short of analysis and study on the essence of management. As there are obvious bounds between management and college student affair management, student affairs management is still in a plight of insufficient systematic theoretical directions. Hence it is on the basis of such research backgrounds that this thesis develops its actual study and attempts to provide reference for converting the concepts on college student affairs management through the reconstruction of management concepts and management models.This thesis, based on researches on college student affairs management at home and abroad as well as the author's personal experiences as university educator, applies management theory to the research process and starts with the existing problems on the aspects of thought, system and means.
