New Horizon College English (henceforth NHCE) is an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) coursebook series specially developed for non-English major postsecondary students in China. NHCE is made possible as part of the Online Course Development Initiative of the Ministry of Education, China.

NHCE is designed to conform to the requirements set forth by the National College English Teaching Syllabus. The NHCE website is intended for online EFL courses where students are engaged primarily through self study and supplemented by instructor-led learning. It can also be used in a traditional classroom setting to assist both EFL instruction and learning.

The NHCE coursebook series is available in three media formats: printed books, CD-ROM and the website. Contents and services provided in the three formats have their own unique features that are complementary to each other.
