History
The University of Miami Business School was founded in 1929. 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.
In the 1940s, the school expanded its undergraduate offerings to include majors in accounting, commerce, finance, and political science. The school grew to almost 2,000 students. In 1948, its full-time MBA program began, and in 1957, it was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
In 1973, the school established an executive MBA program. 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.
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.
From 2011 to 2016, Eugene Anderson served as dean, following service in upper administration at Michigan's Ross School of Business.
In 2017, UM President Julio Frenk appointed John Quelch, formerly of Harvard Business School, as dean and University Vice Provost of Executive Education. Before joining MBS, Dean Quelch--a marketing and health management expert--served as dean of the London Business School and of the China Europe International Business School.
