As of August, 2020, UCAS had 57 teaching and research institutes. UCAS has also established 16 affiliated hospitals.

The School of Economics and Management of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS SEM), formerly known as the Management department founded in 1986, is the first school established at GUCAS (which changed her name to UCAS in 2012) in 2001. The renowned economist Siwei Cheng served as the first dean of the school. At present, Professor Yongmiao Hong is the dean of the school. The school has always been striving to be a first-class research-oriented school with significant international influence. One of the biggest advantages and special features of the School is interdisciplinary education which benefits from the integration of schools and institutes in CAS’s system.
