Beedie School of Business – Simon Fraser University
History
The original Simon Fraser University School of Business, founded in 1965, offered the first Executive MBA in Canada as early as 1968. After instituting a BBA program in the early ’80s, the school went through the first of a series of name changes, becoming the Faculty of Business Administration. At the end of the ’80s, SFU opened the new campus in the downtown Vancouver financial district. Decades after campus and degree expansions, and earning an AACSB and EQUIS accreditation, the business school was gifted a $22 million gift from Ryan and Keith Beedie, prompting the school to officially rename in 2011 as the Beedie School of Business. Five years later, alumnus Charles Chang donated $10 million more to the school, creating the Charles Chang Institute for Entrepreneurship.
