Abstract
The Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan provides an interesting contrast to the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), which has been profiled in Chapter 9. While the USTC resisted pressures for both merger and the rapid expansion of undergraduate enrollments, HUST embraced a complex merger and more than tripled its undergraduate enrollments, from 9,000 students in 1990 to 35,500 students in 2005. It also established two second-tier colleges, with enrollments close to 30,000 students by 2005.
