Guided by serving national strategies and responding to the needs of the times, the construction of New Liberal Arts emphasizes that humanities majors should pursue interdisciplinary integration, adhere to integrity-based innovation, and empower abilities through practice, which guides the reform of talent training in humanities majors in higher education institutions. At present, the talent training programs of humanities majors in colleges and universities have problems such as unclear goal orientation, outdated curriculum systems, single teaching models, and rigid evaluation mechanisms, making it difficult to meet the requirements of New Liberal Arts Construction for cultivating talents with comprehensive capabilities, innovative abilities, and practical skills. Closely linking the essence of New Liberal Arts Construction, this paper analyzes the current deficiencies of talent training programs in humanities majors and explores optimization paths from four aspects: goal reconstruction, curriculum improvement and optimization, teaching innovation and practice, and evaluation reform and improvement. Thus, it provides practical reference for colleges and universities to promote the transformation and upgrading of humanities majors and improve the quality of talent training.
