Abstract：The mechanism of interdisciplinary major development is of great significance to ensure the smooth setting, smooth operation and continuous growth of interdisciplinary majors. From a realistic point of view, there are the following problems in the development mechanism of interdisciplinary majors in China. The transmission of multisubject needs of interdisciplinary major development is not smooth; the system of major setting is unreasonable; departments are divided and set up on the basis of disciplines; courses are divided by departments; teacher appointment and evaluation belong to the departments. In order to break through the mechanism barriers of interdisciplinary major development and create a good environment for it, the country should establish multisubject demandoriented major setting and evaluating mechanism, optimize major management system, and the universities should set up special organizations and coordinating institutions, establish curriculum sharing mechanism, and explore teachers′ joint appointment system.
