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:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
