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:
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
