Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines.
History
The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The first American business school, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was established in 1881 (initially as an exclusively undergraduate institution). Tuck School of Business, part of Dartmouth College, was the first graduate school of management in the USA. Founded in 1900, it was the first institution to confer advanced degrees (masters) in commercial sciences, the forebearer of the modern MBA.
In France, Sciences-Po (established in 1872) has been training the best minds of France and Europe for leadership service. In 1881 the Chamber of commerce and Industry of Paris founded École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC) as one of the first business schools in Europe. In 1898 the University of St. Gallen and in 1909 the Stockholm School of Economics were also founded as some of the first business schools in Europe. HEC Montréal was founded as Canada's first school of management in 1907. As the US MBA model emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Europeans developed centres of excellence in business, such as at the universities of London and Manchester. Elsewhere in Europe colleges such as Cass Business School, London, IMD, Instituto de Empresa, INSEAD, Henley Management College, Cranfield School of Management and Ashridge were set up to provide management training. In 1968, the Asian Institute of Management was founded. In 1964, University College Dublin became the first European university to offer a MBA, followed in 1969 by the HEC MBA Program and by the intensive Sciences-Po MBA Programme.
