國立中興大學生物產業管理研究所創所於1991年，本所原為「農業推廣教育研究所」，創於民國80年。自民國100年轉型更名為「生物產業管理研究所」迄今。現仍以獨立研究所模式運作，對於畢業生授予管理碩士學位，本系隸屬於農業暨自然資源學院。本所稱「生物產業」，將以農業及食品產業為主要範圍；「管理」部份主要以「行銷管理」及「傳播管理」為發展核心。本所成立宗旨為：整合農業暨自然資源學院生物產業研究教學資源、切合未來生物產業研究教學和人才培育需求：本所結合推廣與管理之專業，可以彌補中興大學農資院過於偏重於自然科學之不足，負擔資源整合之任務、因應在地產業需求，使學生實務與理論結合、因應生物產業國際競爭力培養之所需、追求生物產業發展永續性。
The Graduate Institute of Bio-Industry Management of National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) was established in 1991. It was formally the Graduate Institute of Agricultural Extension Education and changed to its present name in 2011. It is an independent graduate institute that provides graduate students master’s degrees in management. This institute belongs to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “Bio-industry” refers primarily to agriculture and the food industry, and “management” refers to marketing and communications management. This institute was established to integrate research and teaching resources in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources to meet future demands in bio-industry research, teaching, and talent cultivation. We integrate marketing and management professions in balance with NCHU’s emphasis on the natural sciences. We shoulder the task of resource integration to meet the demands of local industries, enable students to integrate practice with theory, ensure our international competitiveness in the bio-industry field, and seek sustainable development in bio-industry.
