The predecessor of the Foreign Language School is the Foreign Language Department. The English Major was founded in 1995. With the expansion of the size of the university, the Foreign Language School was established in 2000. After more than a decade of development, the Foreign Language School has taken shape. It aims to cultivate talents with both foreign language proficiency and practical skills which can accommodate the needs of the local economic development of Inner Mongolia.

The English Major is a four-year system, with a stable annual enrollment of 3 classes (90 students). The English Department has three teaching and research teams, covering English Language and Literature, Business English, and less popular languages. The teaching quality of the English Department has been widely acknowledged at home. Students from the English Department have won many awards in National English Speech Contests.
