More than 30 prizes were won for Excellent Teaching Results at both the state and provincial levels. Among its undergraduate majors, architecture, urban planning, civil engineering and environmental engineering have already been labeled as the Well-Established Specialties in the universities of Shaanxi Province

　　Since high-qualified faculty makes the foundation of higher education, many effective measures have been taken to build a team of first-class scholars. These measures include "Lecture Contest for Young Teachers" which is held twice a year, "New Teaching star", etc. In addition, famed professors are encouraged not only to give lectures for postgraduates but also for undergraduates. All these have contributed to the steady progress in the quality of teaching.

In recent years, XAUAT has practiced flexible credit–system and bilingual lectures (both in Chinese and English) are given to students of almost all majors. Moreover, several prizes have been set up, aiming at awarding and encouraging more excellent students.
　　By generations' effort, XAUAT has developed into a multi-disciplinary university, with the specialties of architecture and civil engineering as its special feature, science and engineering as the main body and liberal arts, law, management science and art as inclusive specialties.
