Its predecessor, Shangrao Teachers College, was founded in 1958, later renamed Northeast Jiangxi University, and upgraded to a university in 2000.

Covering over 1,700 mu (about 113 hectares) with two campuses in Xinzhou and Yiyang, the university enrolls nearly 16,000 students and employs over 1,200 faculty and staff. As a key teacher-training base in the region, it focuses on preparing educators and applied professionals for local development.
