Introduction:
Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, often abbreviated as SUFE, was founded in 1917 and is the oldest university in China specializing in finance. The university actually traces its roots to Nanjing, where it began as a commerce program at the Nanjing Higher Normal School. Four years later in 1921, the program transferred to Shanghai and was renamed the Shanghai College of Commerce, and quickly became one of the defining institutions of commerce and finance in China. Several of the early faculty members belonging to the university were educated in top schools worldwide, including Harvard University, Colombia University, and the University of Edinburgh, helping shape the trajectory and organizational style of the entire university. By 1985 the school was renamed as the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
