Courses
While the undergraduate programs remain the dominant focus of its operation, GU also runs postgraduate programs. It is also developing its vocational and technical higher education programmes. The university comprises 20 schools featuring academic programs ranging from the sciences to the humanities. Unfortunately, because GU is still considered a relatively new University in China, many colleges around the world including colleges in he United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. do not fully accept GU courses as a course equivalency to their own. Recognition of its courses, a student's diploma, degree and course credit by foreign academic institutions is still ongoing subject to current review and future agreements between Guangzhou University and foreign academic institutions. Full recognition of Guangzhou University's course equivalency by foreign academic institutions will not go into full effect until to the year 2016 or later.
The university run 42 postgraduate programs and 62 undergraduate programs in eight fields of study including Literature, Science, Engineering, Economics, Management, Law, Education and History.

Famous quotes containing the word courses:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
