UCLA Anderson

The UCLA Anderson School of Management is one of eleven professional schools at the University of California, Los Angeles. The school offers MBA and Ph.D. degrees. The school of management at UCLA was founded in 1935, and the MBA degree was authorized by the UC Regents four years later. In its early years the school was primarily an undergraduate institution, although this began to change in the 1950s after the appointment of Neil H. Jacoby as dean; the last undergraduate degree was awarded in 1969. UCLA is rare among public universities in the U.S. for not offering undergraduate business... administration degrees. Undergraduate degrees in business economics are offered. In 1950 the school was renamed the School of Business Administration. Five years later it became the Graduate School of Business Administration; in the 1970s the school’s name was changed again to the Graduate School of Management. In 1987 John E. Anderson , class of 1940, donated $15 million to the school and prompted the construction of a new complex at the north end of UCLA’s campus. He later donated additional $25 million.
