Xi'an University of Science and Technology

The Xi'an University of Science and Technology 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.
The earliest predecessor of the school was the Mining and Metallurgy Department of the School of Engineering of Peiyang University established in 1895. In 1938, the department became the Department of Mining and Metallurgy of Northwest Polytechnic College, 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. 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 in 1999 and the Xi'an University of Science and Technology in 2003.
