The rapid development of Chinese economy appeals for elites in economics and management science. The School of Management was established in 1953, and started to recruit undergraduates in 1954 and then graduate students who were supervised by Soviet experts in 1955. In 1959 Chinese professors began to recruit graduate students. The year of 1979 witnessed the establishment of the Committee of Economics and Management Programs under the Graduate School of China Institute of Mining and Technology-Beijing as well as the recruitment of the first session of master students in Management Science and Engineering. It is in 1986 that the School was approved by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council to confer Doctor’s degree in Management Science and Engineering for the first time. As China University of Mining and Technology-Beijing was established in 1997, the Department of Economics and Management was set up. In 1998, the School was authorized to set up post-doctoral research station in Management Science and Engineering, and was approved to recruit Master of Business Administration (MBA) in the same year. After the university readjusted the schools in 2002, the School of Management has been officially set up. In 2009, the School was qualified for recruiting Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA).
