[edit] History
Officially founded in 1920 as the McGill School of Commerce, the faculty originated from a two year commerce program first offered in 1906. The faculty expanded in 1968 by incorporating the Graduate School of Business Administration which graduated McGill's first MBA class.
Since the late 1990s, the press has repeatedly ranked Desautels as one of the top institutions for business education in the world. It has been consistently ranked the best business school in Canada by Maclean's every year since 2003, receiving the highest reputational scores by academics and recruiters.
In 2005, the Faculty of Management was named in honour of Marcel Desautels, a retired executive from the credit reference industry, who made a gift of $22 million to the faculty. It was the single largest donation to a Canadian business school.
[edit] Academics
The faculty offers a range of undergraduate and graduate-level business programs including the Bachelor of Commerce, Master of Business Administration, and Doctor of Philosophy in management degrees. The faculty also offers joint programs with the Faculties of Law and Medicine. The MBA program was redesigned in 2007.
