History
The University of Pittsburgh introduced business education in 1907 as the Evening School of Economics, Accounts, and Finance with classes meeting in the Fulton Building on Sixth Street in Pittsburgh. and established the School of Economics in 1910. Three years later the School of Economics, named for the London School of Economics, was formally set up on Pitt's Oakland campus. The school was renamed the College of Business Administration in 1923. Katz Graduate School of Business, established in 1960, grew out the College of Business Administration and became one of the 17 founding members of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the second school in the United States to offer the Executive MBA program. Katz offered the first one-year MBA program in the U.S. (1960s), and was one of the first business schools to offer an MBA and Master of Information Systems dual degree. In the 1990s Katz became the first to offer an MBA in Central Europe, and in 2002 launched a bioengineering dual-degree program. The Katz Graduate School of Business now oversees the administration of the undergraduate College of Business Administration.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
