Abstract: | Since the founding of the new China, the postgraduate education in our country has achieved a great development, but compared with the Western developed countries, there still exists a certain gap. The social system and economic system between China and America are different, which leads to different educa-tion systems, but education as a scientific discipline, has some-thing in common in different social systems. American postgrad-uate education is relatively developed, and we can use the re-search methods of comparative education to make a comparison, in order to discover problems and find out what we can learn from it. |
