The Open University of China (OUC) started offering diploma education in economics and management through distance education in 1983. At that time, the division in charge was the Teaching & Research Division of Economics & Management under the supervision of the Liberal Arts Department. In 1985, the Department of Economics & Management was established. It was renamed as the Department of Finance & Economics in 1994 and in 2007 as the School of Economics & Management.

The School officers are Dean Ai Dali and Vice Dean Cai Yunjiao.

The School consists of 4 departments; the Department of Accounting, the Department of Business Administration, the Department of Finance, and the Teaching & Research Division of Economics.

Currently, the School has 21 full-time teachers, 5 internal part-time teachers and 12 external part-time teachers (who are from the state ministries and commissions involved in the joint education programmes), including 1 professor, 15 associate professors and 3 senior economists. Among the faculty members, one has a doctor's degree, 2 are doctoral candidates, and 6 have master's degrees. In addition, the School has engaged from other institutions of higher education a large group of experts and scholars with rich teaching and professional experience as course presenters and chief editors of its courses.
