Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences - History

History

Founded in 1978, Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences was approved by Central Government top leaders in the form of Executive Order. Different from other graduate schools run by university or college, Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences functions directly under the highest academic authority of Chinese social sciences research- the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) -one of the largest state-run research organizations serving as the most important think tank set up to provide policy-making suggestions in Social, National and International domains. Originally, the purpose of GSCASS was to construct a Prospect Research Faculty Incubator- as its founding spirit may suggest- instrumental in providing qualified first-class researching backups to prosper the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. After 30 years’ development however, the Graduate School has now established its prestigious achievement in elite education both for official and unofficial needs. High percentage of GSCASS graduates entered the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of Chinese Government and various researching organizations, playing leading roles in Academic Research, Policy Making, as well as Social Movement. The establishment of GSCASS made huge impact to Chinese Humanity and Social Science education at the dawn of the Reform and Opening Up (also known as the Economic reform in the People's Republic of China).
