University of Miami Business School (reviews)

History

The University of Miami Business School was founded in 1929 as part of an expansion of the University of Miami, just 4 years after the latter was established. Initially, all the classes were held in a hotel near to a 160 acre area, which would soon become the official campus of the University of Miami. Their undergraduate programmes were expanded in the 1940s in order to to include majors in commerce, accounting, finance, and political science. The school grew to almost 2,000 students. The University of Miami Business School’s first MBA programme began in 1948, and 9 years later, in 1957, it was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).In 1973, the school established an Executive MBA programme. Some years later, in 1979, the school added a health care specialisation to its Executive MBA offerings with what is now the Executive MBA in Health Sector Management and Policy programme.
