When it comes to university rankings, Tsinghua University and Peking University almost always come out on top. However, if the campus size is any criterion, there is one institution that far surpasses these two well-known universities, Northeast Forestry University. Known as the largest university in China, its campus is equivalent to 70 Peking University, 85 Tsinghua University, and it is also a 211 key university.
Although Northeast Forestry University is not well-known, and many people have even heard of this school for the first time, it is actually a 211 university. Formerly known as Northeast Forestry College, it was established in 1952 and is based on the Department of Forestry of Zhejiang University College of Agriculture and the Department of Forestry of Northeast Agricultural College. In 1985, it was renamed Northeast Forestry University and was selected into the "211 Program". However, despite the university's reputation as a 211 university, it is best known not for its educational standards and scientific research achievements, but for its unique connotation.
Northeast Forestry University has primeval forests and various nature reserves in Northeast China as research and Xi bases, forming a good academic atmosphere. The total area of the two forest farms is 330,000 hectares, which is in the forefront of the country and even the world. This area is equivalent to the sum of two forest farms, about 85 Tsinghua University, 70 Peking University, 30 Civil Aviation Flight University of China, and 22 Beijing Capital International Airport. These surprising figures show the excellence of Northeast Forestry University in terms of area.
Northeast Forestry University is the only university directly under the Ministry of Education in Heilongjiang Province, featuring forestry engineering, integrating agriculture, science, engineering, economics, management, literature, law, medicine and art, and has become a national key university. The university is a national "211 Project" and "985 Project Advantageous Discipline Innovation Platform" concerned institutions, and is also a member of the high-quality resource sharing alliance of high-level industry characteristic universities, and has been selected into the "2011 Plan", "Outstanding Engineer Education and Training Program", "111 Program" and "Outstanding Agricultural and Forestry Talent Education and Training Program". It is jointly built by the State Forestry Administration and the people of Heilongjiang Province, and has a graduate school.
Last year, the university was also successfully selected into the national "double first-class" list of world-class disciplines. Although the school is relatively low-key, with agriculture and forestry as the dominant professional direction, so its reputation is relatively small, but its strength is undeniable.
The university has a graduate school, 17 colleges and 1 teaching department, with a total of 63 undergraduate majors, 9 post-doctoral research stations, and 1 post-doctoral research station, covering 8 first-level discipline doctoral programs, 44 second-level discipline doctoral programs, 19 first-level discipline master's programs, 135 second-level discipline master's programs, and 10 professional degree master's programs in 33 fields.
Northeast Forestry University has cultivated 2 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 6 dual-appointment academicians, 3 "Changjiang Scholars" distinguished professors, 1 national outstanding youth winner, 36 new century excellent talent support program candidates, 31 experts enjoying special allowances, 3 young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions to the country, and 16 young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions at the provincial and ministerial levels. In addition, the university also has 4 candidates for the national "Millions of Talents Project" and 6 candidates for the "New Century Millions of Talents Project", as well as 8 Longjiang Scholars Distinguished Professor and 1 Chair Professor.
