历史沿革

作为苏州大学的龙头学院之一，苏州大学文学院是在东吴大学文学系基础上发展起来的。1900年，美国监理会制定《东吴大学校董会章程》建立东吴大学，共设三个系科：文学系、神学系和医学系，为中国年轻人提供西方标准的大学教育。1908年，东吴大学的第一个毕业生获得了文学士学位证书。1919年，东吴大学被政府授予筹办“作为东吴大学一部分的吴语学校”。1920年，“吴语科”开办。1927年春，东吴大学文学院设中文、政治、经济、社会、历史等系。1950年秋，文学院文史系改为中国语文学系。1952年10月，苏南师范学院在东吴大学原址建院，设中国语文系、教育系、数学系、物理系、生物系、艺术系。1952年11月，苏南师范学院改名为江苏师范学院。1955年9月，中国语文系科调整到南京师范学院。1958年，江苏师范学院重建中国语文系，1982年更名为苏州大学中文系，1995年更名为苏州大学文学院，同时开始组建新闻传播系。1999年，文学院、社会学院、政治与管理学院合并组建苏州大学人文学院，文学院更名为人文学院中文系(新闻传播系)。2005年调整为苏州大学文学院·新闻传播学院。2009年，苏州大学在整合原文学院·新闻传播学院所属新闻传播学科专业的基础上，与香港凤凰卫视集团合作组建苏州大学凤凰传媒学院，撤销新闻传播学院。苏州大学文学院·新闻传播学院在划出新闻类专业和学科后更名为苏州大学文学院。

如今的苏州大学文学院坐落于苏州工业园区风景如画的独墅湖畔。

A brief introduction to the School of Arts of Suzhou University

Suzhou University is located in the ancient city of Suzhou, which is known as “Paradise on Earth”.

Its predecessor was Soochow University, which was founded in 1900. at present, it has developed into a local comprehensive university with considerable scale, solid foundation, remarkable school-running benefits and a certain popularity at home and abroad.

Historical evolution

As one of the leading colleges of Soochow University, the School of Arts of Soochow University developed on the basis of the Literature Department of Soochow University. In 1900, the American Supervisory Board formulated the Constitution of the Board of Governors of Soochow University to establish Soochow University, with three departments: literature Department, Theology Department and Medicine Department, to provide Chinese young people with western-standard university education. In 1908, the first graduate of Soochow University received a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1919, Soochow University was awarded by the government to organize “Wu language School, which is part of Soochow University”. In 1920, “Wu language Section” was launched. In the spring of 1927, the School of Literature of Soochow University set up departments of Chinese, politics, economics, society, history and so on. In the autumn of 1950, the Department of Literature and History of the College of Arts was changed to the Department of Chinese language and Literature. In October 1952, Sunan normal University was established at the original site of Soochow University, with Chinese language Department, Education Department, Mathematics Department, Physics Department, Biology Department and Art Department. In November 1952, Sunan normal University changed its name to Jiangsu normal University. In September 1955, the Chinese Department was adjusted to Nanjing normal University. In 1958, Jiangsu normal University rebuilt the Chinese language Department, renamed it as the Chinese Department of Suzhou University in 1982, and changed its name to the School of Arts of Suzhou University in 1995. At the same time, it began to set up the Department of Journalism and Communication. In 1999, the School of Arts, the School of Social Sciences and the School of Politics and Management merged to form the School of Humanities of Suzhou University, which was renamed as the Chinese Department of Humanities (Department of Journalism and Communication). In 2005, it was adjusted to the School of Journalism and Communication, School of Arts, Suzhou University. In 2009, on the basis of integrating the journalism and communication major of the School of Journalism and Communication of the original School of Journalism and Communication, Suzhou University cooperated with Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV Group to establish the Phoenix School of Communication of Suzhou University and abolish the School of Journalism and Communication. The School of Journalism and Communication of the School of Arts of Soochow University changed its name to the School of Arts of Soochow University after delineating journalism majors and disciplines.

Today, the School of Arts of Suzhou University is located on the banks of the picturesque Dushu Lake in Suzhou Industrial Park.
