Brief History
The UCGSB was founded in 1898 and as of 2004 had 174 faculty members teaching 1,100 full-time and 1,400 part-time students.[1] UCGSB consistently ranks in the 10 schools for full-time, executive and part-time and executive MBA programs. In 1922 it became the first school to offer a doctoral program in business and in 1982 was the first to hire a Nobel laureate - George Stigler - to its faculty.[2]
In 2007 the school received one of the largest cash gifts in its history when 1950 alumnus and former chief executive of ConAgra Foods Charles M. Harper purchased naming rights to a new $125 million UCGSB building in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood.[3] The amount of Harper's gift was not disclosed.
