## History

The school was established in 1989 as a normal school under the moniker Dong Thap Pedagogical College (Vietnamese: Trường Cao đẳng Sư phạm Đồng Tháp). On January 10, 2003, officials released a decree that upgraded the school's official status from vocational college to a university.[1] On September 4, 2008, officials expanded the school's scope and approved a change in name to Dong Thap University.[2] In 2017, the university's degree programs received full accreditation and certification by the Vietnam National University system.[3] In the 2016–2017 academic year, it became the first university in the Mekong Delta certified to meet the quality standards by the Ministry of Education and Training.[4][5]

## Description

The current rector of the university is Ho Van Thong.[6] The school offers 32 undergraduate major and 6 graduate degrees.[5] In 2016, the rectors claimed that 92% of the school's lecturers held postgraduate qualifications.[5]

### Admissions

In 2019, the university announced it would refund the tuition of graduates from their Math, Chemistry, and Primary School Pedagogy departments if they are not able to secure a job after graduating with a degree from the university. The rector's announcement was made as an effort to both showcase the high rates of employment among their alumni and the efforts the university was making to create a job pipeline[4]

In 2021, Dong Thap began interviewing applicants to assess them on criteria beyond test scores, as an effort to identify high performing students that may not meet Vietnamese score-focused educational conventions.[7]

### Student body

The university has approximately 8,000 students enrolled.[5] Students organize a number of activities and clubs, such as a campus-wide book club[8] and a championship futsal team.[9] The school also has employs a human resources unit solely focused on ensuring graduating students have jobs after graduation.[10]

### Research

The university publishes its own "Dong Thap University Journal of Science".[11]
