Leavey School of Business – Santa Clara University

History

Santa Clara University was established in 1851–the first institute of higher learning in California–and began offering courses in commercial education shortly thereafter, in 1854. In 1923, William Pabst was named the dean of the new College of Commerce, which soon became the School of Business Administration in 1925.

The School of Business earned its AACSB accreditation in 1953, and in 1959, the MBA program was introduced.
