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.
