Introduction of HUUC

Henan University of Urban Construction (HUUC) is the only provincial level university in Henan which specializes in Civil Engineering, Construction and the Built Environment. The university is situated in the new district of Pingdingshan between White Turtle Lake and the "flat topped mountain" which gives the city its name.

HUUC grew out of two pre-existing institutions: Pingdingshan Urban Environmental Protection School, founded in 1983 and the Henan branch of Wuhan Urban Construction University, founded in 1985. In 1993 the latter institution was renamed Henan Urban Construction College and in 2000 the two institutions merged under this new name. In 2002 the Ministry of Education gave the college degree awarding powers and it was renamed Pingdingshan Technology University. The increasingly important role which the university has come to play within the provincial economy prompted its renaming in 2008, at which point it became Henan University of Urban Construction.

The university currently offers 49 undergraduate degree programs and 11 specialty non-degree programs across eight discipline areas: engineering; science; agriculture; management; economics; law; literature; art and design.
