Liaocheng University

Liaocheng University is a comprehensive university located in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province, China.

The roots of this university can be traced back to 1974, when it began its journey as a branch campus of a teacher's college.  Initially focused on training educators, it was known as the Shandong Teachers College (Liaocheng Branch).  This initial incarnation marked the beginning of a long and transformative journey for the institution. In 1981, the branch campus achieved a significant milestone, gaining independence and being officially renamed Liaocheng Teachers College. This recognition solidified its position as a full-fledged teacher training institution.  The following two decades witnessed continued growth and diversification.  By 2002, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, the university shed its teacher-centric focus and adopted its current name – Liaocheng University.  This name change reflected the university's expanding academic offerings, which now encompassed a vast array of disciplines beyond education.
