With the development of “post-popularization” of social development, it has become the inevitable development of higher education. At this stage, although it has created many developments for higher education, it also highlights the many challenges facing the development of colleges and universities. This paper will analyze the characteristics of higher education based on the background of post-popular era, and study the roles and functions of different types of colleges and universities. It is proposed that different types of colleges and universities in the post-popular period should continue to develop students who need to adapt to different needs.
