Abstract

The effective and efficient academic advising is critical to promote the quality of talent cultivation in higher education. Compared with the developed countries, the academic advising in China is still at an early stage of development. In order to establish an excellent academic advising system, the theory of project management could be introduced to the area, which may guide the academic advising to develop in a healthy way suitable for China. This paper attempts to construct the academic advising system guided by the project management theory, thereby offering a reference for improving the quality of talent cultivation in Chinese universities.
