Chongqing University

The School of Economics and Business Administration (SEBA) at Chongqing University (CQU) was established in 1937, with Professor Ma Yinchu, a renowned economist and educator, serving as its first full-time dean. Thanks to national initiatives like the "211 Project" and the "985 Project," along with strong support from the university and the dedication of generations of faculty and staff, SEBA has grown into a leading center for business education and research in Western China. Today, SEBA offers a comprehensive range of highly competitive undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. programs in Management and Economics, attracting outstanding students from across the country and beyond.

The school currently has a dedicated and diverse team of 140 faculty and 62 professional staff. Among the faculty, there are 61 professors, 51 associate professors, and 71 Ph.D. supervisors. Our faculty includes distinguished scholars and experts with extensive experience in teaching, research, and industry practice.

SEBA has achieved impressive performance in both national and international assessments. It is accredited by three leading global business school accreditation bodies: AMBA, AACSB, and EQUIS. Our faculty members have consistently been ranked among the "Highly Cited Chinese Scholars" by Elsevier. Over the past five years, SEBA has ranked 17th among the "985" universities in China for the number of papers published in UTD 24 journals. Notably, in 2024, the Economics and Business discipline at SEBA entered the top 1% of the global ESI rankings for the first time, further reaffirming the international recognition of the school’s academic research and influence. SEBA is now embarking on the next phase of rapid development, moving towards to the new levels of excellence.
