The sources of funds for running schools are different. The tuition of private schools and independent colleges is higher than that of public schools. Generally, the diploma issued by the affiliated college of an independent university is different, and enterprises do not recognize it.
Public university: refers to the university run by the government.
Private colleges and universities: refer to the colleges and universities and other educational institutions that are run by social organizations or individuals other than the state institutions, using non-state financial funds.
Independent college: It is a higher education institution that carries out undergraduate education jointly organized by ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities and social forces, namely enterprises, institutions, social institutions or individuals.
Both private colleges and universities run by the state are colleges and universities with enrollment qualifications approved by the state for ordinary colleges and universities. The treatment of students and graduates is the same, but the source of funding is different.
The academic qualifications and diplomas issued by independent colleges (also called secondary colleges) are lower than those issued by public colleges (primary colleges) in terms of social recognition. Since most independent colleges mainly enroll students in the third batch of undergraduate courses, and a small number of independent colleges obtain the second batch of undergraduate enrollment qualifications, there is still a certain gap between the quality of their students and that of primary colleges.
