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.

In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
