Abstract: In order to understand the layout of China’s university disciplines ,a study is performed with the data of the third round discipline evaluation by the Academic Degrees and Graduate Education Development Center of the Ministry of Education in 2012 .The distribution of first‐level disciplines is displayed with an analysis of its density and centricity by social network analysis .An analysis is then made on differences among disciplines against various types of colleges .Last ,achievements in key program development are assessed by longitudinal data analysis . It is hoped that our findings may be helpful in better understanding the state of college program distribution and promoting dynamical adjustment and optimization of the discipline arrangements .
