History

The UM School of Business was founded in 1929 under President Bowman Foster Ashe in the midst of the "Great Crash." Classes were initially held in the unfinished Anastasia Hotel, near the 160 acres (0.65 km2) that would later become the University of Miami campus. Ashe lured national recognized economist John Thom Holdsworth of Pittsburgh to teach economics and to later serve as the School's dean. In the 1940s the School expanded its undergraduate offerings to include majors in accounting, commerce, finance and political science and the School grew to almost 2,000 students. The School started its full-time MBA program in 1948 and was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 1957.

In 1973, the school established one of the first Executive MBA programs. In 1979, the school added a health care specialization to its Executive MBA offerings with what is now the Executive MBA in Health Sector Management and Policy program. In the late 1970s, the School gained a permanent facility with the completion of the George W. Jenkins Building and the Elsa and William H. Stubblefield Memorial Classroom Building.

From 1992-2007, Paul K. Sugrue served as Dean.

In August 2007, Barbara E. Kahn became dean after serving as a professor and administrator at the Wharton School.
