History

The University was created as Sichuan Institute of Finance and Economics in 1952, when the colleges and departments of business and economics from 17 universities were restructured. In 1980, People’s Bank of China (PBC), China’s central bank took over the governance of the University and renamed it SWUFE in 1985. PBC governed the University till February 2000, when the governance was transferred to the Ministry of Education. The University features a strong faculty of scholarly excellence and professional dedication. In 2001 SWUFE built Liu Lin campus in Wenjiang District, west of Guanghua campus to establish modern teaching functions for the new century. Liu Lin campus has now been fulfilling complete functions.[2]
