The school-running structure of Chang'an University was formally formed. In 2011, it was selected as a national "985 Advantageous Discipline Innovation Platform" construction university. In 2017, it was selected into the first round of national "double first-class" construction universities. In 2021, it will officially become a pilot unit for the construction of a transportation power. In 2022, it will be selected into the second round of national "Double First-Class" construction universities, starting a new journey of high-quality career development.
