Nantong University was founded in 1912, originating from the private Nantong Medical Specialized School and Nantong Textile Specialized School established by the renowned modern industrialist and educator, Mr. Zhang Jian. In 2004, the three schools of Nantong Medical College, Nantong Institute of Technology, and Nantong Normal University were merged to form a new Nantong University. For over a century, the university has upheld the spirit of its motto "Communicating East and West, Striving for Excellence," the educational philosophy of "Studying must be useful, and its use must be appropriate to the local conditions," and the value pursuit of "Moral Excellence and Pure Scholarship." It has made unremitting efforts and persevered in its endeavors, eventually becoming a comprehensive university jointly supported by the Jiangsu Provincial Government and the Ministry of Transportation, and a key university under the Peak Plan for High-Level Universities in Jiangsu Province.
