This study takes Zhengzhou University of Economics and Business as a sample. Based on 492 baseline questionnaires, in-depth interviews with teachers of three colleges and benchmarking data from three similar colleges in the province, it is diagnosed that there are five-dimensional dilemmas in the general education of private application-oriented undergraduate education, such as instrumentalization of course selection motivation, mismatch of course supply and demand, one-way infusion of teaching mode, separation of general and specialized content, and single quality evaluation. Based on this, the three major curriculum modules of “humanistic literacy, scientific spirit and social responsibility” are constructed, and the “basic layer + promotion layer “ double-layer graded teaching, “online + offline + practice” three-in-one mixed teaching and “student 40 % + supervision 30 % + peer 30 %” three-dimensional evaluation mechanism are matched. Through a two-month single-group pre-test and post-test points (N = 151, covering six courses in two academies), the results showed that the satisfaction rate of general education courses increased from 80.69 % to 87.75 %, the mathematical difficulty mismatch rate decreased from 28.05 % to 8.16 %, and the four core literacy scores of students’ self-evaluation were higher than the average of the whole school. Limited by the fact that the sample is focused on freshmen in economics and management and engineering majors, and there is no control group design, the above-mentioned effect is regarded as a periodic pilot feedback rather than a causal conclusion. This study provides a replicable operational framework and empirical reference for the docking qualification assessment of similar colleges and universities.Undergraduate teaching qualification assessment,General education,Hierarchical mixed teaching,General-special integration,Multivariate evaluation,Applied talents
