Although they are all undergraduates, there is still a big difference between universities and colleges. The state has very strict requirements for colleges to be renamed as universities, especially domestic universities. On the one hand, upgrading to a university can enhance the visibility and social recognition of the school. On the other hand, after entering the university, the quality of students will be greatly improved, whether candidates or parents' recognition of the university is higher than that of colleges!

Generally speaking, except for the Foreign Affairs College, Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama and other special colleges, almost all undergraduate colleges at the junior college level enroll students in two batches. Take universities in Shanxi as an example. Jinzhong University, Yuncheng College and Changzhi College are all undergraduate colleges at the junior college level. Basically, they are enrolled in two batches nationwide, and it is not long before they are promoted to undergraduate courses. Therefore, the teaching strength of the school is relatively weak, mainly radiating from the province or the city, as well as the surrounding cities and outside the province.

However, undergraduate universities are different. Generally speaking, most undergraduate universities are provincial key universities, even if they are not 2 1 1 or 985 universities, such as Hunan University of Science and Technology, Jishou University and Hunan Agricultural University. They are all established undergraduate universities with long promotion time and high social recognition. Relatively speaking, even without doctoral programs, they still have a certain number of master's programs!

What are the requirements for college entrance examination? This is the explanation of the Ministry of Education to colleges and universities! The main differences between universities and colleges are:

University: The number of full-time students is more than 8,000, and the number of graduate students is not less than 5% of the total number of full-time students. College: The number of full-time students should be more than 5,000.

There will be more subjects in "University", with more than three key courses and only one key course in the university.

The proportion of full-time teachers with postgraduate qualifications called universities should generally reach more than 50%!

Generally, there must be at least 10 master's programs, and more than 5 master's graduates.

Universities announced by provinces in recent three years will be renamed universities! The following summary shows that these universities are about to be renamed as universities, and some of them have been publicized by provincial education departments and reported to the Ministry of Education. For example, Baoji University of Arts and Sciences, Hunan Institute of Science and Technology University of Arts and Sciences, Shaoxing University and other colleges have basically met the conditions for renaming them as universities, and some of them may not be officially approved by the Ministry of Education because the transformation of independent colleges has not been completed!

According to incomplete statistics, in the past five years, 37 colleges and universities have successfully changed their names to universities, realizing their dream of university and gorgeous transformation!

To sum up, the number of colleges and universities in China has reached nearly 3,000, and renaming seems to be the dream of every college. For example, Luzhou Medical College-Sichuan Medical University-Southwest Medical University has achieved gorgeous transformation through renaming, and it has also become the goal pursued by many institutions!

In Bian Xiao's view, it is the last word for a university to continuously develop and enhance its scientific research achievements and teaching strength. Even colleges and universities, in order to save a floor, at least show their own housekeeping skills and their dominant disciplines!
