The Xi'an University of Science and Technology (西安科技大学) is a provincial public university in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. It is affiliated with the Province of Shaanxi, and co-funded by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government and the Ministry of Emergency Management.[1]
The earliest predecessor of the school was the Mining and Metallurgy Department of the School of Engineering of Peiyang University (北洋大学工学院采矿冶金科) established in 1895. In 1938, the department became the Department of Mining and Metallurgy of Northwest Polytechnic College (西北工学院矿冶系), and in 1957 it was merged into Xi'an Jiaotong University. In 1958, the Mining Department of Xi'an Jiaotong University was separated and established as an independent Xi'an Mining College (西安矿业学院). In 1998, the school implemented "co-construction by the central and local governments, with local management as the mainstay" and was transferred to Shaanxi Province. The school was renamed Xi'an Science and Technology College (西安科技学院) in 1999 and the Xi'an University of Science and Technology in 2003.[2]
The school has two campuses: one in Beilin and one in Lintong.[3]
