After 1952, the university became a public school and was renamed and restructured several times until it received its current name, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (SWUFE), in 1985. As one of the most elite universities in China, SWUFE became a Project 211 University in 1997, was listed as 985 Innovative Platform for Key Disciplines Project University in 2011 and was named "double first-class" in 2017 and 2022.
