“Responsibility，Integration，Innovation，Excellence”
2022 Summer Camp Admission Notice for National Excellent University Students of Business School of USST
Introduction
The Business School was formerly the earliest established Department of Systems Engineering and the Institute of Systems Engineering in China (1979). In November 1979, famous scientist Qian Xuesen made a special trip to the school to investigate the cultivation of undergraduates majoring in systems engineering, and delivered a speech at the inaugural meeting of the Institute of Systems Engineering of Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering. In the same year, the school started to run international programs. In December, the school formally signed an inter-school cooperation agreement with the Sloan School of Management of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which was the earliest Sino-foreign cooperative education project in Shanghai after the reform and opening up.
In 1981, the school cooperated with MIT and other universities in the United States and Canada to start an MBA program in English. In 1983, the US Wall Street Journal published a special report, saying that ‘this move created a precedent for MBA education in China.’
In May 1992, the Department of Systems Engineering and the Institute of Systems Engineering merged to establish the School of Systems Science and Systems Engineering. In May 1999, it was renamed the School of Management. In 2004, the former Shanghai Medical College School of Management was placed under the School of Management, On January 22, 2005, ‘Shanghai Institute of Systems Science’, which was jointly established by the Institute of Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai University of Technology and named by Comrade Qian Xuesen, was listed at the school. In January 2006, the school merged and reorganized with the school business school to establish a new management school. The business school was founded in 1988, and its roots can be traced back to the 1930s Shanghai Hujiang University Chengzhong District Business School. In 1997, the business school merged with the management department of the former Shanghai Mechanical College to form a new business school. The alumni have made many achievements and influenced all continents.
The school has adopted a multi-type and multi-level school-running model. The discipline involves four sub-disciplines: management science and engineering, business management, and public management under the management discipline; applied economics under the economics discipline; system science under the sciences discipline; and transportation engineering and systems engineering under engineering discipline
The school has 2 first-level doctoral degree authorization points (management science and engineering, systems science), 6 first-level master degree authorization points (management science and engineering, systems science, applied economics, public management, business management, transportation engineering),10 authorization points for professional degree (Master of Business Administration, Master of Public Administration, Master of Engineering Management, Master of International Business, Master of Finance, Master of Accounting, Master of Taxation, Transportation Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Project Management, Logistics Engineering), 2 post-doctoral mobility stations (management science and engineering, system science). Among them, management science and engineering are Shanghai plateau disciplines, and system science is Shanghai peak discipline (first-class discipline); applied economics (economic system operation and control) is a key discipline of Shanghai Education Commission. In the fourth round of subject evaluations of universities in the country, Management Science and Engineering ranked 19th and System Science ranked third.

Dean's Message
USST finds its roots in the founding of the University of Shanghai, also known as Hujiang University in 1906 and the Deutsche Medizinschule für Chinesen in Shanghai (Shanghai German Medical School) in 1907. With a time-honored history of more than a century, USST has passed many milestones and forged important traditions along the way. Since its establishment, USST has produced numerous academic and social luminaries, outstanding scientists and engineers. Inspired by its motto of “Integrity, Righteousness, Diligence, Love, Pondering, Learning, Aspiration, Ambition”, USST continues to build on past achievement and make breakthroughs in the new era through innovation, hard work and open-mindedness.
The Business School of USST traces its history back to the 1930s, when the Downtown School of Commerce of the University of Shanghai was established, and China’s first Systems Engineering Department and Institute founded in the 1970s. In 1979, the School established a partnership with the MIT Sloan School of Management, which marks the first international program between universities in Shanghai after China’s reform and opening up. Two years later, the School started to offer an MBA program taught in English in collaboration with some of the universities and colleges in the United States and Canada, and thus hailed as the pioneer of China’s MBA education by the Wall Street Journal. Today, the USST Business School’s alumni―entrepreneurs, scholars, policymakers―based around the world are working to make the world a better place.
Generations of working staff at the School are dedicated to talent development, academic research, public service, cultural inheritance and innovation. The School now offers an array of programs under four disciplines―management science, economics, science, and engineering―master’s degrees in four first-level disciplines―applied economics, public administration, business administration, and transportation engineering―and doctoral degrees in management science and engineering, and systems science. In 2018, the USST Business School earned AACSB Accreditation, the highest recognition of academic achievements for business schools worldwide. With this recognition, USST became the first local AACSB-Accredited university of its kind in the country. The School is forging ahead to become one of the top advanced business schools in China.
With the aim of distinguishing itself as a world-class business school, the School will continue to live out its core values of “Responsibility, Integration, Innovation and Excellence”, maintain its legacy of holistic thinking, and give full play to its interdisciplinary strengths. Management science and engineering, and systems science will be further enhanced, as well as business administration, applied economics, and public administration. International programs like MBA will be promoted to develop high-achieving, socially responsible innovators with a global vision to serve the nation and the world.
As talents are part of the lifeblood of the School’s teaching and research, we sincerely look forward to working with ambitious minds. We firmly believe that as long as this diverse community of faculty, staff, students, and alumni work shoulder to shoulder, the vision of the School will be turned into reality.
Together we will build a brighter future for the School!
