Introduction: 本系所之管理科學研究所碩士班早於民國 61年成立，為國內首創教育與國防結合之先河，並於 64年獲准開辦博士班，為國內最早成立的管理博士班。後又為因應社會對大學程度人才的需求，於民國 87年再增設大學部 (管理科學學系)，以廣泛培育初階管理人才。再於民國 88年設立高階主管管理碩士學程 (EMBA)，以為業界培育高階管理人才。復於民國 91年大學部更名為經營決策學系，另於民國 92年 EMBA更名為企業經營碩士在職專班迄今。又為加強國際化，於民國 95年將碩士班甄試生員額之半要求必須出國修習一年。於民國100年8月大學部再次更名為「管理科學學系」。本系另於101學年度因應學院整合政策，原於管理學院之下，現改隸屬於商管學院中。
