Today there are 3,000 universities in China. They include 1,300 general universities, 1,200 private schools and other continuing education facilities. China's university system consists of two types of educational institution, including: junior colleges (offering both two- and three-year degree options) and traditional four-year universities (conferring Bachelor's degrees – and often Master's and post-doctorate degrees as well).
