When Chengdu University of Information Technology first opened its doors to only a few students and teachers in 1951, Chengdu is still a city that lacked modern and descent equipment for education. While after years of transformation and reform, it became a university co-sponsored by both Sichuan Province and China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and was officially renamed as Chengdu University of Information Technology (CUIT) in late April, 2015.
