When a "college" gets the master's authorization qualification, it will think about changing the name "university" and obtaining doctoral authorization, recently, Hainan Tropical Ocean College officially announced the "14th Five-Year Plan" development plan on its campus official website, and made a detailed interpretation of the renaming of "university" and doctoral authorization.

From the official website of the school, we learned that the school was founded in 1954, after several turns, the school was upgraded to an undergraduate university in 2006 and renamed "Qiongzhou College", in 2015, with the consent of the Ministry of Education, the original "Qiongzhou College" was renamed Hainan Tropical Ocean College, and embarked on the application-oriented, characteristic high-level development path, in the development process, the school merged a number of colleges and universities, as a "tropical ocean" discipline as the main development object of the university, Hainan Tropical Ocean College attracted much social attention, It is also one of the local universities supported by ocean university of China.
Although the school was only upgraded to a general undergraduate university in 2006, the pace of development is not slow! In 2009, Hainan Tropical Ocean College was approved to become a bachelor's degree authorization unit, in 2011, the school got the right to serve the national special needs project pilot training of professional master's degree students, in 2018, the school was officially approved to become a master's degree authorization unit, and a one-time new social work, engineering, tourism management three professional master's authorization points, discipline construction, degree point construction has made great progress!

Development is rising and gradual, not overnight, without a certain quantitative change, how to talk about qualitative change? In view of the school's "14th Five-Year Plan", Xiaobian's views are as follows:
01 The goal of renaming the "university" is realistic
In 2018, Xiamen University of Technology, Huzhou Normal University, Hefei College and other schools were approved to become master's authorized units, Hefei College submitted the information on the declaration of renaming "Hefei University" in December 2020, and Xiamen Institute of Technology and Huzhou Normal College were renamed "University" and were also included in the mid-term adjustment of the "13th Five-Year Plan" colleges and universities in Fujian Province and Zhejiang Province, from this point of view, the goal of Hainan Tropical Ocean College will basically reach the standard of renaming "University" around 2025, which is more realistic!
At present, Hainan Province is formulating the "14th Five-Year Plan" university setting plan in the local area, if the school wants to formally apply for the renaming of "University" at the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", it must first apply for inclusion in the "14th Five-Year Plan" university setting plan of Hainan Province, which is also the basic provisions of the Ministry of Education, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, it is not included in the five-year university setting plan of the local competent department, in principle, it is not accepted!
Therefore, if Hainan Tropical Ocean College can be included in the "planning" of this time, Xiaobian believes that the school can have the basic conditions for changing its name to "University" at the end of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", and can even directly apply for the name change of "University".
Personal opinion, do not like to spray, thank you for your understanding!

02 The objectives of the Doctor's mandate are to be considered
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, if a master's degree authorized unit wants to declare as a doctoral degree authorization unit, the school must first be included in the local doctoral degree authorization project construction unit, and generally the region must first be built for three years!
According to the editor's understanding, Hainan Province has not yet established the Hainan Tropical Ocean College as a doctoral degree authorized construction unit, and the time for the next project has not been set, for the Hainan Tropical Ocean College, it does not have the conditions for project establishment!
Not only that, the Ministry of Education also stipulates that if a university wants to apply for a new doctoral degree authorization unit, it can only be implemented after the school has obtained the qualification of the master's authorization unit, in other words, Hainan Tropical Ocean College will not have the basic conditions for submitting a declaration to become a doctoral degree authorization unit until 2026 at the earliest.
View of the school
In addition, according to the current declaration standards, China's new degree points or new degree authorization units are "three years and one declaration" system, the next declaration time is 2023, the next declaration time is 2026, and the approval time should be 2024 and 2027, which is inconsistent with the time planned by the university, so it is difficult for Hainan Tropical Ocean College to meet the conditions for declaring a doctoral authorized unit at the end of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan".
However, no matter what the school flaunts itself with goals, the "sea-related discipline" will never change, and the discipline that the school intends to focus on developing is more specific, serving Hainan, taking the "tropical ocean" discipline as the respect, and taking the local application-oriented high-level development path. In view of this positioning and development ideas, Xiaobian expressed support!
The above is the interpretation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of Hainan Tropical Ocean College, thank you for reading, please leave a message to discuss!
