History

[edit]

Hebei Trade & Finance Institute (since 1953)

[edit]

Hebei Trade & Finance Institute traces its roots back to the establishment of the Hebei Provincial Supply and Marketing Society Cooperative School in Shijiazhuang in 1953. In 1958, it was renamed as the "Hebei Province School of Business and Technical Cadres." Following a merger with the Provincial Grain School in 1959, it was transformed into the "Hebei Province School of Finance and Trade Technical Cadres." Building upon this foundation in 1960, the "Hebei Province School of Commerce" was established, but due to historical reasons, it ceased operations after 1965. The institution was re-established as the "Hebei Province School of Commerce" in 1973. Expanding on this, the Hebei College of Finance and Trade was founded in 1978 on the basis of the Hebei Province School of Commerce, and it was renamed the Hebei Trade & Finance Institute in 1984.[4][5][6]

Hebei College of Trade & Economics (since 1968)

[edit]

The history of Hebei College of Trade & Economics dates back to the establishment of the Hebei Provincial Hutuo River Five-Seven Cadre School in September 1968. This was later converted into the Hebei Provincial Cadre School in 1979. Building on the foundation of the Provincial Cadre School in 1982, Hebei Construction Institute was established. It underwent transformations and was renamed Hebei Institute of Economic Management Cadres in 1983. In 1987, the Hebei Provincial Administrative College was founded, merging with Hebei Institute of Economic Management Cadres. The year 1988 marked the revival of the Hebei Provincial Socialist College, co-located with Hebei Institute of Economic Management Cadres. In 1992, Hebei Institute of Economic Management Cadres jointly established Hebei Provincial Township Enterprise College with the Provincial Township Enterprise Bureau. Then, in 1994, Hebei College of Trade & Economics was founded based on the foundation of Hebei Institute of Economic Management Cadres.[4][5][6]

Hebei Commerce College (since 1956)

[edit]

The origins of Hebei Commerce College can be traced back to the establishment of the "Hebei Provincial Business Cadre School" in 1956. Following a restructure in 1959, it became the "Hebei Provincial School of Finance and Trade Cadres." It was renamed once again as the "Hebei Provincial Business Cadre School" in 1963. Due to specific circumstances, enrollment was temporarily suspended in 1965. In 1982, the Hebei Provincial Business Cadre School was reestablished and operated at the same location as the Hebei Provincial School of Commerce. This institution underwent changes and was renamed the "Hebei Business Vocational College" in 1984. Its name was changed once more in 1992 to become the "Hebei Commerce College".[4][2][5][6]

Fight for Doctoral Degree Conferring Right

[edit]

Universities in China have to pass strict examination system to obtain doctoral degree conferring right.[17] HUEB currently has no right to confer doctoral degrees, unlike neighboring universities such as Shandong University of Finance and Economics, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics, and Tianjin University of Finance and Economics. HUEB's subject offerings are limited to finance and economics, with no science or technology disciplines, making its overall academic strength relatively weak compared to other institutions in Hebei province. Other universities of similar academic quality, such as North China University of Science and Technology and Hebei University of Science and Technology, already have or are in the process of obtaining the right to confer doctoral degrees. With even lower admission requirements and academic quality, the Hebei University of Engineering in Handan has also received a special project doctoral program.[18]

Faculties

[edit]

Until 2023, HUEB has 17 faculties.[19][20]

This program is the first overseas joint doctoral training program of HUEB.[25] However, the quality of those doctoral degrees is questioned by some people online.[26][27]
