The Richard Ivey School of Business is located on the University of Western Ontario campus in London, Ontario, Canada. It is offered, along with a range of other programs, by the University of Western Ontario, but is managed separately with its own Dean and budget. Its primary location is London, Ontario, but the school also has two executive teaching facilities in Toronto and Hong Kong. The Honours Business Administration program offered by the school is consistently ranked as one of the top undergraduate business programs in the world.
The University of Western Ontario created the Department of Commercial Economics within the Faculty of Arts in 1922 to offer elective course work in business. The first degree program was the Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Business Administration (HBA). In 1948, Canada's first MBA program was added. In 1950, the university created a separate faculty as the School of Business Administration. In 1961, the School of Business Administration inaugurated Canada's first PhD program in Business. In 1995, the school was renamed the Richard Ivey School of Business after an $11 million donation by the Richard M. Ivey family. The school is named after Richard G. Ivey. In 1998, Ivey was the first North American business school to open a campus in Hong Kong offering an Executive MBA program at the Cheng Yu Tung Management Institute.
Ivey's dean is Roy Stathis, with a full-time faculty of 135 plus 12 lecturers. The school publishes a bi-monthly business magazine, Ivey Business Journal, and an undergraduate business strategy publication, Ivey Business Review.
