In recent years, SCUEC has made a steady and rapid development. It was graded as “excellence” in the undergraduate teaching assessment by the Ministry of Education in 2001. It developed from a college into a university and renamed into South-Central University for Nationalities in 2002. In September 2003, it became a university co-supported by the State of Ethnic Affairs and the Municipal Government of Wuhan. It won the honor as “Model Institute for National Ethnic Unity” in May 2005, awarded by the State Council. In 2006, SCUEC was again graded as “excellence” in the undergraduate teaching assessment. In 2008, it won the title “Model Institute” granted by the State of Ethnic Affairs, and the third prize for its great achievement in “The Higher Education Campus Culture Construction” granted by the Ministry of Education. For the last consecutive 10 years, it has been awarded for five times the honor of “Model Institute in Hubei Province.”
