Its main features are as follows:
1, independent colleges are generally "three books";
2. In previous years, independent colleges were generally named "XX College of XX University", which reflected the relationship between independent colleges and XX University and was conducive to enrollment. However, since the previous year, the state has required independent colleges to decouple from their alma mater as soon as possible. Some independent colleges no longer use the name of the parent university, such as Dalian Art College of Northeastern University, which was renamed Dalian Art College last year.
3. The state requires all independent colleges to be "independent" before 20 13, or completely merged into the parent university (no longer allowed to operate according to the private mechanism), or closed down. So in the past two or three years, many independent colleges have changed their flags. In addition, the state has set hard targets for the running conditions of independent colleges. It turns out that most independent colleges don't have independent campuses and teachers. And these two years have followed.
"Investment attraction", some of which are too weak, is not far from closing.
4. For students, the key points are: graduates from the independent college of XX University in the early years can get the graduation certificate of XX University (the parent university), that is, when they arrive at school or society, they can be said to be students who graduated from XX University; Unfortunately, since the year before last, the state has required students of independent colleges to issue their own diplomas, which makes the difference. Of course, this is also a formal thing recognized by the state, but diplomas such as "XX College of Fudan University" and "Fudan University" are definitely different.
5. Theoretically, independent colleges should be a kind of private education, although in the past, most independent colleges have become a channel for colleges and universities to generate income and some teachers and entrepreneurs to make money-the tuition fee of independent colleges may be slightly higher than that of ordinary private undergraduate courses. On the national average, liberal arts is about 65438+100000/year, and science is about 65438+100002-65438+.
In a word, I believe that in a few years, there will be no proper term of independent college in China, and truly independent "independent college" will become a purely private undergraduate university. Of course, most independent colleges have been recruiting junior college students.
