History
The school has its origins in the Economics Department of Brandeis University, which first offered a Master of Arts in International Economics and Finance in 1987.
In 1994, a Ph.D. in International Economics and Finance was introduced and the school was formally established as the Graduate School of International Economics and Finance.
In 1998, MBA and Master of Science in Finance Programs were added, making management the third pillar of the school's teaching and research. The school was renamed the International Business School in 2003 to reflect this broader expertise.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
