History

[edit]
McCord Hall opened in 2013 as a home for the W. P. Carey School's MBA programs.

The school began as the Department of Commerce, offering business courses and curriculum to students interested in a business career. As the department expanded, Emil John Hilkert was tapped to serve as dean for six months, although Glenn D. Overman was accountable for establishing most of the College of Business programs and is generally recognized as the founding dean.[2]

The school was endowed in 2003 with a $50 million pledge from the W. P. Carey Foundation. At the time, the $50 million pledge was the second-largest single donation to any U.S. business school, according to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

On October 29, 2011, the school commemorated the groundbreaking of McCord Hall,[3] named for Arizona philanthropist Sharon Dupont McCord and the late Bob McCord. Opened in fall 2013, McCord Hall is a 129,000-square-foot (12,000 m2) facility,[4] featuring more classrooms for graduate programs and undergraduate honors students, technologically advanced team rooms, a new career center, outdoor assembly areas, and the latest in environmental innovation.

The W. P. Carey School of Business is accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
