Welcome to the Business School, Renmin University of China (RMBS)! As one of China’s premier business schools, RMBS boasts the longest history of management education in China, dating back to 1950. Our school’s strengths are grounded in the rich accumulation of intellectual assets of our parent university in the humanities and social sciences, a long standing tradition of close integration between theory and practice, close engagement with enterprises and governments, and a large alumni base. The school is a leader with global perspective and insightful understanding of Chinese management.
The school has 7 academic departments, including General Management Department, Organization and Human Resources Department, Marketing Department, Management Science and Engineering Department, Trade Economics Department, Accounting Department, and Finance Department. Among the 138 full time faculty members, over 40% hold overseas PhD degrees awarded by Princeton University, Carnegie Mellon University and Rutgers University among others. In 2012, Renmin University’s business administration discipline (under the Business School) was ranked the 1st in the national assessment of first-tier disciplines by the Ministry of Education. In 2017, it was recognized as one of the top-tier (highest level: A+) in China.
Our school has obtained both EQUIS (in 2010-2024) and AACSB(in 2013-2023) accreditations, and ranked among the top 50 by the Financial Times in MBA, EMBA, and EE programs recently. The School is one of the founding members of the Global Network for Advanced Management (GNAM) initiated by Yale School of Management in 2012.
The School is on track to become “a world class business school as the expert in Chinese management”. We cultivate future leaders with global perspectives and a strong sense of corporate social responsibility and business ethics. To achieve this goal, we have developed highly innovative education programs, emphasizing case-based teaching, experiential learning, reflective learning, and action learning. “China root, Global reach” encapsulates our Chinese history and global future. Our research features indigenous management practices in China and adherence to the rigor of international standards.
