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 am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
