The School of Humanities Education and Application was established in July 2025 through the merger and integration of the former School of Foreign Languages and School of Education, combining their respective strengths. The School has consistently adhered to the University’s educational philosophy of being “locally-rooted, application-oriented and open”, and remains committed to its mission of “being based in Tianfu, serving Sichuan, extending its influence across the south-west, and reaching out to the whole country”. It is committed to building a distinctive and practice-oriented system for training application-oriented talents with the aim of providing a talent pool to support regional social development.

The School is home to two major research platforms: the Asia-Pacific Education Information Research Center of STBU (a key humanities and social sciences research base of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education) and the Sansu Culture Research Center (a key philosophy and social sciences research base of Meishan City). It also houses one provincial experimental teaching demonstration center (Preschool Education), two provincial teaching and research teams, and five provincial first-class courses. The School holds provincial accreditation for skill certification of Infant Development Counselors, has been named a provincial benchmark department for curriculum-based ideological and political education, and offers two provincial demonstration courses and one exemplary case in this area.

The School of Humanities Education and Application currently offers seven undergraduate programs: Chinese Language and Literature, Preschool Education, Primary Education, Advertising, English, Japanese, and Network and New Media, as well as one associate degree program in Infant and Toddler Care and Management. The total student population exceeds 5,900. At the same time, the school undertakes the important task of general education for the entire university, delivering core courses such as College Student Mental Health Education, College English, An Introduction to San Su Culture, and College Chinese. It has developed an educational model in which “in-depth development of specialized education” and “comprehensive empowerment through general education” complement each other, achieving integrated and mutually reinforcing progress.
