Guizhou University of Finance and Economics
Summary
Guizhou University of Finance and Economics (GUFE; ), colloquially Gui Cai (贵财; pinyin: Guì Cái), is a provincial research university located in Guiyang, Guizhou with a focus on management, economics, and research on big data in finance. The university grants bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees through 17 academic departments and 62 undergraduate majors, and operates the Guiyang Institute for Big Data and Finance. Its honorary president is Professor Hong Yinxing, former Party Secretary of Nanjing University.
With a modern campus in the Huaxi University City district, Gui Cai enrolls nearly 20,000 undergraduate students, including 300 students through its Western Michigan Institute (西密歇根学院; pinyin: Xī Mìxiēgēn Xuéyuàn), an undergraduate college jointly established with Western Michigan University in Michigan, United States and the second Chinese-American education partnership in Guizhou.
The university's strategic development plan for 2015-2020 focuses primarily on increasing the quality of undergraduate teaching and curricula. Other major goals include hiring a "first-class" faculty, raising research standards and quality, and developing more international partnerships.
The university was established on August 21, 1958 by combining three provincial schools which trained party cadres in economics, management, marketing, supply chain management, and other necessary skills for government service. The new institution was named the Guizhou College of Finance and Economics (贵州财经学) and was based in the Hebin District of Guiyang, where the university continues to maintain a campus.
During the Cultural Revolution, the institution was forced to suspend operations. It was re-established in 1978 and admitted its first class of undergraduate students that year.
In 1992, the College absorbed the provincial party cadre training school for economic planning.
In 2002, the institution relocated most of its facilities from its Hebin campus to a new campus in Luchongguan District, and granted its first master's degree in 2004.
