In early 1978, some famous scholars in our university, such as Prof. Sa Shixuan, Prof. Jiang Zhao, Prof. Chen Yunian, Prof. Wei Qingyu, and Prof. Zhao Shuyuan, proposed to create a new education program which focus on theapplication of information technology to economics and social science. It was the first time that such an education program was established in mainland China, and an Economic Information Management department was named.. In 1994,the department of economic information management was integrated with the computing center of the university. The School of Information was thus founded.

Now, the School of Information provides three academic programs for undergraduate students, which are computer science and technology, management science and engineering, mathematics and applied mathematics. We focus on the application of mathematics and information technology in the field of economic management and social science. The unique feature of our programs is the cross-discipline environment to train our students.
