As Chinese society changes, higher education is undergoing major transformations. The university model of the
United States and other Western countries has a powerful influence. New trends in Chinese higher education are attracting
the attention of global educators. Since the establishment of Western-oriented modern universities at the end of nineteenth
century, Chinese higher education has continued to evolve. Over the past two decades, however, tremendous economic
development in China has stimulated reforms in higher education that have resulted in some remarkable changes.
The first modern institution, Peiyang University, was founded in Tianjin. The university changed its name to Tianjin
University in 1951 and became one of the leading universities in China: Next, Jiaotong University was founded in
Shanghai in 1896. In the 1950s, most of this university was moved to Xian, an ancient capital city in northwest China, and
became Xi'an Jiaotong University; the part of the university remaining in Shanghai was renamed Shanghai Jiaotong
University.
Tianjin University celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 1995, followed by Xian Jiaotong and Shanghai Jiaotong
Universities in 1996. Other leading universities, such as Zhejiang University (1897), Beijing University (1898), and
Nanjing University (1902) also recently celebrated their hundredth anniversaries, one after another. These celebrations
marked the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese higher education.
