A Study on the Development of an Internationalized Curriculum System for Finance and Economics Programs in Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

In the context of accelerating global economic integration and the ongoing internationalization of vocational education, the curriculum system for finance and economics programs in higher vocational colleges is facing dual challenges of content upgrading and structural reconstruction. To meet the demands of cultivating internationally competent talents, the curriculum system must transcend traditional teaching models and achieve comprehensive alignment in terms of knowledge structure, competency orientation, and instructional mechanisms. This study conducts a systematic analysis of the development pathways for an internationalized curriculum system in finance and economics programs at higher vocational institutions from three dimensions: theoretical foundation, structural design, and operational mechanisms. The study proposes the construction of a modular curriculum framework centered on "fundamental knowledge—professional competence—intercultural literacy," enhancement of content updating mechanisms, integration strategies for language and culture, and interdisciplinary collaboration pathways. It also recommends promoting dynamic adaptation and sustainable development of the curriculum system by optimizing faculty resources, restructuring organizational frameworks, and improving competency transfer mechanisms.
