Despite the warm market reaction to its jewelry design graduates, the Shanghai Institute of Technology will no longer offer

this major, today's Youth Daily reported.
All 18 of this year's graduates have found jobs, the highest job-success rate among the school's design majors, according to

SIT official Zhu Guoqin.
While explaining for the decision, Zhu described it as result of SIT's new education strategy of encouraging students to

take more than two majors.
"Graduates taking an additional major, such as airplane design, along with the jewel design program, will be more

competitive on the job market and will find work easier," he said.
