From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In China, universities and colleges are classified in different ways for administrative purposes by the Ministry of Education of China.

By designated academic emphasis

By designated academic emphasis, universities and colleges are classified into 12 categories by the Ministry of Education of China. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

  • Comprehensive (综合类)
  • Science and Engineering (理工类)
  • Normal (师范类)
  • Agriculture and Forestry (农林类)
  • Political Science and Law (政法类)
  • Medicine and Pharmacy (医药类)
  • Finance and Economics (财经类)
  • Ethnology (民族类)
  • Linguistics (语言类)
  • Fine Arts (艺术类)
  • Sports (体育类)
  • Military Science (军事类)

By institutional affiliation

By institutional affiliation, universities and colleges are classified into four categories. [6]

  • Affiliated to central government ministries (中央部属高校)
    • Public universities and colleges that are directly affiliated with cabinet ministries and commissions of the State Council. [6] [7]
  • Provincial (省属) / Regional (自治区属) / Municipal (市属)
    • Public universities and colleges that are affiliated with the governments of provinces, cities, and autonomous regions. [6]
  • Private (民办/私立)
    • Universities and colleges that are owned and operated by private enterprises. [8] [9]
  • Independent college (独立学院)
    • Private colleges that are owned and operated by private enterprises, and are prefixed with the name of a public university under a contract between the public university and the private enterprise. The independent colleges issue their own diplomas. [10] [11] [9]

By institutional status

The Ministry of Education of China imposes strict naming regulations for the Chinese names of nationwide higher education institutions. Only institutions that satisfy all requirements set up by the ministry can use the stand-alone word "University" in their Chinese names. Otherwise, the institutions may only use other words such as "College," "Vocational and Technical University," or "Vocational and Technical College" instead. [12] However, the Ministry of Education of China does not examine or regulate the English names of higher education institutions. Therefore, a number of colleges and vocational colleges in China adapt the stand-alone word "University" as part of their self-translated English names. [12] [13] [14]

  • University (大学) [12]
    • The number of full-time students in the university should be more than 8,000.
