The New Structural Economics Experimental Class at Nanchang University leverages the high-quality research and teaching resources from both Nanchang University and the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University. With the Institute of New Structural Economics at Nanchang University as its platform and supported by the talent cultivation system of Nanchang University’s Jiluan College, the program adheres to the educational philosophy of "integrating science and education, unifying knowledge and practice." It emphasizes a student-centered approach, tailored teaching methods, excellence in both character and scholarship, and individualized development, aiming to cultivate top-notch innovative talent in the field of economics. Professor Lin Yifu from Peking University serves as the Honorary Director of the Academic Committee, and the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University provides dedicated support in talent cultivation and disciplinary development.

The Experimental Class adheres to the principles of "openness, fairness, and justice" and combines students' "college entrance examination scores, comprehensive qualities, and disciplinary expertise." Aligned with the goal of cultivating top innovative talents under the "New Liberal Arts" framework—characterized by "broad scope, solid foundation, emphasis on capability, and pursuit of innovation"—the program aims to develop outstanding economics talents with a strong sense of social responsibility and commitment, global perspectives and national sentiment, as well as practical and innovative abilities that integrate knowledge with action. Graduates are expected to possess a solid grounding in economic theory and quantitative methods, along with proficiency in the theory and practice of New Structural Economics. Upon graduation, students are primarily prepared for further studies at top-tier institutions domestically and internationally, as well as for roles in government agencies and enterprises, where they will provide high-quality decision-making and advisory services. The New Structural Economics Experimental Class at Nanchang University was first launched in 2020, admitting 15–20 students annually through a university-wide selection process. The program is committed to personalized, small-class, and internationally oriented education.

The experimental class implements a management model combining tutorial system, college system, and credit system, with a dynamic withdrawal mechanism. The class is led by Professor Yaobin Liu and internationally renowned scholar Professor Jianqiang Li, and consists of an excellent faculty team composed of young doctors from well-known domestic and foreign universities such as the National University of Singapore and Peking University. It provides students with personalized training programs, one-on-one tutor guidance, and learning path design, with each student assigned an academic tutor with high teaching and research capabilities. Emphasizing the cultivation of students' theoretical and practical abilities, the class fully utilizes superior resources at home and abroad to guide students to participate in academic exploration and academic frontier seminars and exchanges. Every year, a certain number of students are selected to directly participate in the summer camp activities of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University. Following the college system management, students live in a centralized manner to cultivate their independent learning, interdisciplinary literacy, and social communication abilities, realizing their all-round development. Students' academic records are managed specially, and a complete credit system is implemented. Those who meet the professional graduation requirements and degree requirements will be awarded graduation certificates and degree certificates.
