Its precursor, Sanjiang Teachers College, was established in 1902 as a modern university on the former site of the Ming-era Guozijian. In 1921, the school changed its name to National Southeast University and became the second national university in China, and in 1928 was renamed National Central University, the nation's flagship university. After the Nationalist government lost Nanjing to the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War, the university was renamed National Nanking University in August 1949. It was renamed Southeast University in May 1988.
