Shanxi Agricultural University

("Ming Hsien" means "remember the worthy" and was named in honor of his Oberlin missionary friends.)

Beginning in 1908, Oberlin began sending recent graduates to teach at Ming Hsien and support Kung's efforts under the auspices of the Oberlin-Shansi Memorial Association.

SXAU encompasses eight academic fields in agriculture, science, engineering, economics, management, humanities, law and art, offering 71 undergraduate specialties.

At present, there are one national key discipline of animal genetics, breeding and reproduction, and nine provincial key disciplines, including agricultural engineering, crop science, horticulture, agricultural resources & environment, plant protection, animal husbandry, veterinary medicine, forestry, and grassland science.

Each year, the university hosts young English teachers who have recently graduated from Oberlin College.
