Historical Evolution
Xinjiang Agricultural University traces its origins to the Bayi Agricultural College, founded in 1952 by General Wang Zhen on the basis of the Second Infantry School of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, with the approval of Chairman Mao Zedong and the Central Military Commission. It was the first formal university of its kind established by the Communist Party of China in Xinjiang after the founding of the People’s Republic. The school was transferred to the People’s Government of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 1958 and renamed Bayi Agricultural College of Xinjiang; in 1995 it received approval from the former State Education Commission to adopt its present name, Xinjiang Agricultural University. According to the university profile released in June 2026, the university now operates four campuses — Laomancheng, Yaxin, Lugang and Tiangeer — with the Tacheng campus currently under planning and construction.
