Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management (abbreviation: Tsinghua SEM; Chinese: 清华大学经济管理学院, qīng huá dà xué jīng jì guǎn lǐ xué yuàn ), is the business school of Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. The school offers undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and many executive education programs, with a total enrollment of more than 3,000 students.
The history of Tsinghua SEM dates back to 1926, when Tsinghua University established its Faculty of Economics. In 1956, when the Chinese government decided to regroup higher education institutions in an attempt to build a Soviet-style education system, the Faculty of Economics was separated from Tsinghua and merged into other universities.
In 1979, with the Chinese economic reform taking place, Tsinghua University began setting up a new School of Economics and Management Engineering. The School of Economics and Management was officially established in 1984, with Zhu Rongji serving as the first dean.
The Tsinghua School of Economics and Management (SEM) is consistently ranked among the best business schools in China. It was the first mainland Chinese institution to have achieved AACSB and EQUIS accreditations for its business and accounting programs. Founded in 1984, SEM was the first school of economics and management in China. Its founding Dean, Professor Zhu Rongji, later became the fifth Premier of the People’s Republic of China. Tsinghua SEM is the successor to Tsinghua University's Department of Economics, which was originally established in 1926. Its main competitor is Guanghua School of Management, Peking University.
Today, SEM's professional and academic programs are considered to be among the premier training grounds for China's business leaders.
There are 8 majors within SEM, namely: management science and engineering, finance, economics, accounting, corporation strategy and policy, marketing, human resources management, and technology economics and management.
The school also operates a number of prominent research centers, including: the Research Center for Contemporary Management, the Research Center for Technological Innovation, the National Entrepreneurship Research Center, the China Center for Financial Research, the National Center for Economic Research, the China Retail Research Center, the China Business Research Center, the Center for China in the World Economy, the Research Center for Contemporary Management and Technological Innovation, and the China Insurance and Risk Management Research Center.
