East China Normal University (ECNU) is a comprehensive
public research university in Shanghai. It was formed in
1951 by the merger of the Great China University founded in
1924 and Kwang Hua University (est. 1925) which had its
ultimate origins in the St. John's College established in
the city in 1879.
ECNU is now organized into more than 22 schools, colleges,
and institutes, located in two campuses throughout Minhang
and Putuo. ECNU is a Chinese Ministry of Education Class A
Double First Class University. It is often considered to be
one of the most prestigious universities in China and is
internationally recognized, as evidenced by its partnerships
with institutions around the world. Sponsored by the
national program "Project 211" and "Project 985", the
university is a frontrunner in the nation's research and
innovation, and has been dubbed as the "Columbia of the
East". The university also has strong ties with the China
Meteorological Administration, State Oceanic Administration
and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
