Administrative history
The UM School of Business (now named the School of Business Administration) was founded in 1929 under President Bowman Foster Ashe. 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. The School started its full-time MBA program in 1948.
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.
