East China Normal University MBA Program Admission Guide for International Students

1.Program Introduction

The MBA program of East China Normal University is approved by the Ministry of Education and the Degree Office of the State Council [code: 2007(36)], providing academic and degree education. Since its inception in 2007, the program has developed by leaps and bounds in just over ten years and has enrolled more than 8,000 students so far. The program is rooted in the profound humanistic heritage of East China Normal University, and gathers a wealth of management, financial, statistical, psychological and humanistic education resources. It is based on the concept of “broadening vision, acquiring knowledge and remaining faithful”, and supported by the campus culture of “Basking in the Great Love of ECNU”. Based on its dominant academic disciplines, the program is aimed at cultivating all-round management elites with a broad vision, plentiful knowledge and faithfulness.

In 2010, East China Normal University MBA program was selected as one of the 18 national MBA pilot institutions for comprehensive reform approved by the Ministry of Education, and in 2013, it passed the quality check of the Ministry of Education and the Degree Office of the State Council with excellent results. In September 2015, the “Faculty of Economics and Management” of East China Normal University was established. The faculty was integrated and established on the foundation of multiple institutions including business school, public administration school, finance and statistics school, international shipping logistics research institute, MBA education center, etc. This move aims to improve the school management structure, decentralize the decision making power of the upper management, facilitate the interdisciplinary integration, promote the reform of the talent training model, and strive to better build Shanghai into “four centers” (international economic, financial, trade and shipping center) and a globally influential science and innovation center. On June 1, 2017, the China High-Quality MBA Education Certification Executive Committee conference was held in Nankai University. The Faculty of Economics and Management of East China Normal University was formally reviewed at the meeting and it was announced that the faculty had passed the China High-Quality MBA Education Certification (“CAMEA Certification”), and ECNU MBA Program has thus become the 15th (tied) MBA training institution to obtain “CAMEA Certification”.
