I. Overview of the Business School
The Business School of The China University of Political Science and Law (hereinafter called the “Business School”) began accepting students for the bachelor’s degree program in Business Administration in 1995, and was formally established in July 2002. The Business School fully exploits and integrates the faculty and educational resources of the economics, management and other related programs at the China University of Political Science and Law (“CUPL”). The Business School currently offers 3 bachelor’s degree programs in Economics, Business Administration, and International Business (including a total of 6 fields of concentration), one doctoral program in World Economics, and 6 master’s degree programs in Political Economy, Business Administration, World Economics, Accounting, Industrial Economics, and Economic History.
The Business School has established several teaching and research institutions that support its undergraduate and graduate programs, including 6 teaching and research institutions directly administrated by the Business School: the Institute for Political Economy, the Institute for Business Administration Research, the Institute for World Economic Research, the Institute for Industrial Economics Research, the Institute for Accounting Research, and the Institute for Research on Economic History. The Business School also has affiliations with four other research institutions: CUPL’s Institute for Economic Studies, the Institute for Equity Trading Research, the Institute for Research on Modern Industrial Organization, and the Center for Investment Management Research.
At present, the Business School has 64 faculty and staff members, 51 of whom are dedicated faculty members. These faculty members include 10 full professors (accounting for 20% of the teaching staff) and 20 associate professors (accounting for 39% of the teaching staff). 84% of faculty members either have earned doctoral degrees, or are currently enrolled in doctoral degree programs. The faculty of the Business School is well-balanced with respect to the age, professional qualifications, educational backgrounds, academic backgrounds, and academic fields of the faculty and staff members. The Business School has hired 19 well-known Chinese and foreign scholars, experts and entrepreneurs as adjunct professors to enhance its strengths in academics and teaching and to provide a broader range of educational resources.
Since its establishment in 2002, the Business School has followed its guiding principles of “providing academic programs in innovative ways” and “running the school pragmatically” and has made significant achievements in a wide range of areas, including the structure of the curriculum, the development of undergraduate programs, student training methodology, innovations in teaching, the reform of undergraduate education, and the administration of students. In addition to focusing its teaching and research activities on two major disciplines, economics and management, the Business School has developed a new approach to business education characterized by integrating business and law courses to fully exploit CUPL’s long-standing strength in legal education. The Business School aims to provide students with high quality career oriented courses that emphasize both theory and practice, helping students acquire interdisciplinary skills. As a result, the Business School has established a competitive advantage in business education unique among China’s business schools.
