[edit] History
Xi’an Jiaotong University, a state key university administrated directly under the Ministry of Education of China, grew out of Nan Yang College founded in Shanghai in 1896, and renamed Jiaotong University in 1921. Arising from the national strategic plans for more balanced economic development, the State Council of China decided to move the main body of Jiaotong University inland to Xi’an in 1956. In 1959, the Xi'an part of Jiaotong University was officially renamed Xi’an Jiaotong University, and was listed as the state key university in China. Later, Xi’an Jiaotong University became one of the few selected universities under the 7th Five-Year Plan and the 8th Five-Year Plan of China. Xi’an Jiaotong University was the only university in the central and western regions of China named by the the State Council under the National Program of Action for Educational Revitalization in the 21st Century to be a a world-renowned university. In April of 2000, approved by the State Council, Xi'an Medical University, Shaanxi Institute of Finance and Economics were merged with Xi'an Jiaotong University and formed the new Xi’an Jiaotong University. XJTU is one of the most prestigious universities in Mainland China, and was placed tenth in the 2008 Chinese Universities Ranking[1]. Its management school has been consistently ranked first in the country since 2002[2].
[edit] Present
Today, Xi'an Jiaotong University has an enrollment of around 32,000 students and offers 199 Master's and 114 Ph.D. programs in Science, Engineering, Medicine, Economics, Management, Art and Law.
In 2006, in partnership with the University of Liverpool, XTJU opened a joint University in Suzhou, the Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). This is an independent University in its own right, and as such is the first Sino-British University to be approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education. XJTLU currently offers degree courses in Electronics, Communications, Computer Science, and Management (including Financial Mathematics and E-commerce). When fully operational, this independent University will have a student population of up to ten thousand.

Alumni include Qian Xuesen, Wu Wenjun, Zhang Guangdou, Jiang Zhenghua, Jiang Zemin, and Han Qide. Engineers at Xi'an Jiaotong University have, over the years, produced several technological breakthroughs in China, including the country's first dynamo, the first radio-station, the first diesel engine and the first Chinese typewriter in China[4].
