What is the classification of universities?
The classification of universities is: double first-class universities, national key universities, regional key universities, independent colleges and private colleges.

Detailed introduction:

1, a double-class institution

Double first-class means that on September 2, 2065438, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the Notice on Publishing the List of World-class Universities and First-class Discipline Construction Universities and Discipline Construction, officially publishing the list of world-class universities and first-class discipline construction universities and disciplines. The first batch of * * * statistics 137 universities with double first-class construction, including 42 world-class universities. There are 465 double-class construction disciplines (including 44 self-defined disciplines).

2. National key universities established by provincial departments.

Although the national key universities jointly established by provinces and ministries are not double-class institutions, their comprehensive strength is only slightly weaker than that of double-class institutions for various reasons.

For example, Hebei University and Henan University in the central region belong to the key construction universities of the province. For example, Jinggangshan University, Yan 'an University and other universities are included in the provincial construction system because of special geographical reasons. There are also Qingdao University and Jiangsu University, which have developed well for geographical reasons.

3. Regional key universities

Such schools account for the largest proportion in China, including provincial key universities and regional key universities. For example, Changzhou University, Qufu Normal University, Liaocheng University, Linyi University, Weifang College, Jiangsu Normal University and Dezhou University.

4. Independent colleges and private colleges

Independent college is a higher education institution which is organized by ordinary undergraduate colleges and social forces, that is, enterprises, institutions, social institutions or individuals to implement undergraduate education. Because of borrowing the name of the parent university, the name of an independent college is generally named after the format of a college of a university, which is the primary way for an independent college to distinguish itself from other universities.

Private colleges and universities are social organizations or individuals outside the state institutions, and universities and other educational institutions that run schools for the society with non-state financial funds.
