Suzhou University is a provincial public undergraduate college in Suzhou, Anhui, China.[4][3]
History
In 1949, the Su County United Middle School (皖北宿县联合中学) established an affiliated Teacher Training Department (师范部).[5] After separating from the school in 1950, the department became the North Anhui Su County Division Normal School (皖北宿县区师范学校), with Pei Ganyuan (裴干元) as its first principal.[5][6] It was renamed the North Anhui Su County Normal School (皖北区宿县师范学校) later that year.[6]
On 1 May 1952, the school moved to Sanliwan (三里湾) in the southeast of Su County and was renamed the Anhui Su County Normal School (安徽省宿县师范学校).[6][7]
In February 1983, the school was renamed Suzhou Teachers College (宿州师范专科学校) following its reorganization as a three-year normal college.[8][9] The Suzhou Agricultural Cadre School (宿州市农业干部学校) was merged into the college in 2002.[6]
In May 2004, it was established as a comprehensive four-year undergraduate university and renamed Suzhou University.[10]
