Abstract This paper conducts a historical analysis of the number and types of Chinese higher education institutions from a new perspective, that is, the dimension of university organization. The study found that the scale expansion process of higher education system has taken on an obvious stage and has experienced four stages: initial germination, tortuous development, steady development and balanced development. The overall trend is to change from the highspeed expansion mode to the lowspeed expansion mode. The type differentiation process of higher education system shows distinctive uniqueness and policydriven orientation, which has formed a diverse higher education system made up of research universities, private colleges, higher vocational colleges, local undergraduate universities and so on. Generally speaking, the scale expansion and type differentiation of higher education system reflect the changes in its volume and nature respectively. They are two sides of the same body under different development logics. The two influence each other and act on the selfdevelopment ability and external adaptation ability of higher education system.
