History
Nyenrode was founded in 1946 by top executives of Dutch multinational companies, such as Akzo, KLM, Philips, Shell and Unilever. This Nederlands Opleidings Instituut voor het Buitenland (NOIB) was soon named after the thirteenth century Castle of Nyenrode. In 1982 it was recognized as a university by the Dutch government (Universiteit Nyenrode). In 1992 Nyenrode decided to become independent of Dutch government subsidies, because subsidised universities in the Netherlands were not allowed to have a selection process of students. Today Nyenrode consists of two schools; the business school and the Nyenrode School of Accountancy and Controlling. A castle is located at the north-east corner of Nyenrode's grounds. Nyenrode has a strong international reputation in the field of business and management research and education. It maintains close ties with the national and international business communities, a fact that is reflected by its multinational student body. In addition to its educational programs for managers, business leaders and entrepreneurs, Nyenrode also offers a wide range of training programs, tailor made programs and incompany modules for managers in the corporate sector. Nyenrode offers a PhD program and an Executive Doctorate Program. Nyenrode have recently added Degree preparation Programs to the range of courses on offer, these one year foundation programs provide academic training, English language training and GMAT training for Nyenrodes Bachelor in Business Administration and MBA programs.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
