Organization

As most Chinese universities with strong Chinese characteristics, Inner Mongolia University includes a huge administrative system, besides its teaching and research system. There are even some enterprises operated under the umbrella of this university.

Teaching units at this university were originally called "department". At the end of the 1990s, almost all of them were renamed "schools" (in the sense similar to, e.g., law school), under which several departments were covered. However, currently on the university website, they are translated as "colleges" in English. It is yet unclear whether these colleges are still equivalent to schools, or are enlarged based on those schools.
