The Jiujiang Financial and Economic College is properly known as Jiujiang Institute (九江学院). It often refers to itself as Jiujiang University in English only as a result of some confusion surrounding differences in educational institute organization between China and English-speaking countries. The "Institute" level is a level in between a trade school and a full-fledged university which doesn't have an equivalent in most western countries.

You can find this behavior in all 学院-level institutions in China.
