The School of Economics of Shenyang University of Technology (SUT) dates back to the establishment of the Department of Management Engineering in 1981. In 1987, in order to meet the demand of the further nation-wide reform and opening-up, the Department of Management of SUT organized two cohorts of students in the five-year bachelor program of Industrial Foreign Trade consisted of students among the Grade 1985 and Grade 1986 under the sponsorship of Liaoning Provincial Government. In 1988, the bachelor program of Industrial Foreign Trade was approved and the first cohort of students was admitted. The Department of Management Engineering was turned into the School of Economics and Trade in 1993. The name of the School of Economics and Trade was changed into the School of Economics and Management in 1999. In 2002, based on the School of Economics and Management, SUT established the School of Economics and the School of Management, respectively.
