Telfer School of Management – University of Ottawa
History
In 1969, the University of Ottawa business school was originally founded as the Faculty of Management Science. Less than ten years later, in 1977, the school was effectively re-organized as the Faculty of Administration. Part of the remodeled structure saw the elimination of departments with individual programs acting in place, preceding the business school offering the domestic, international, and Executive MBA programs. In 2002, the school was renamed again as the School of Management. Finally, in 2007, MBA alumnus Ian Telfer donated $25 million to the business school, prompting a name change to the Telfer School of Management.
The school was accredited by the AACSB in 2003. Four years later, it earned an EQUIS accreditation.
