According to the needs of the development strategies of our country, the State Council made the decision that some universities and colleges should make the transformation to the applied technology university. The private higher education institutions and independent colleges are a part of the higher education as a whole, and they are the main body of the transformation as well. The transformation is inevitable, but how to make clear the goal and choose the right way is a question. This paper takes City College of Wuhan University of Science and Technology as an example, points out that in order to meet the needs of regional economic development and the students' job requirements and their essential capability in employment after graduation, the independent colleges should do the following things: 1) to reform the professional curriculum system; 2)to put emphasis on practical education; 3) to insist on building the practice and training center with enterprise together; 4) to train a teaching staff with double-professions both in teaching and other fields; 5) to strengthen students' ability of both innovation and entrepreneurship. Only by applying the measures mentioned above, can the private higher education institutions and independent colleges in China seize the opportunities and realize their transformation.
