History

edit

The predecessor school of Linyi University, Seaside High School of the Military and Political College (军政干部学院滨海中学), was founded in 1941. It was one of the first universities in Shandong, which was renamed Linyi University in 1958. Yet the institution was transformed into a teachers school just one year later. Through the following decades, it kept the profile of an institution for teacher education and was known as Linyi Normal University (临沂师范学院) after 1999. The college was awarded with name change in 2010 by the Ministry of Education, People's Republic of China. [1][2]
