History

edit

The university has evolved from a grain school which was subordinated to the Ministry of Grains in 1956 to many iterations of provincial and national grain schools. On May 6, 1993, the name was changed to Nanjing University of Economics (Chinese: 南京经济学院).[4] It was not until 2003, the university became the current Nanjing University of Finance & Economics.[5]
