In China, the course of health economics in college is becoming increasingly important. In this cross-sectional study, 354 students from a medical college in Guangxi were selected by the purpose sampling method, and online questionnaires were used to investigate the learning attitudes and satisfaction of college students about health economics. The descriptive and inferential statistical analyses of the collected data was carried out by IBM SPSS statistical software, and to discuss how to optimize the teaching of health economics under the concept of student-centered evaluation in college of China based on the findings. The results showed that students had a higher learning enthusiasm and a higher learning satisfaction. The Chi-square test results showed there was statistically significant difference on the attitude about "difficulty of learning" between students with different gender (𝑥 2 =11.987, P=0.002) and different birthplace (𝑥 2 =8.750, P=0.013). There was statistically significant difference on the attitude about "preview before class" between students with different major (𝑥 2 =14.929, P=0.001). The Wilcoxon rank sum test showed there were statistically significant in overall satisfaction scores of students with different genders, birthplaces, majors and learning attitudes (P<0.05). In order to improve the teaching effect of the course, it should be paid more attention to students who are female, come from rural area and majoring in public health, and adhere to the student-centered teaching design and cultivate students' ability of independent learning, thinking and expression.
