In view of the problems existing in the practice of general education in some colleges in
China, it proposes an idea of“general major education”, i.e., taking the culture education
of the major as a main line, integrating the general education with the major education, to
carry out “ship culture”general education for shiprelated majors. It discusses the

and puts forward suggestions from the three aspects including the ideology, education content
and form, and teaching method, in expectation of providing reference for general education in
relevant colleges.
