Additional Description

Historical Information

Washington University in St. Louis, founded in 1853, has maintained a business school since 1917 and awarded its first undergraduate business degree in 1919. The school added an MBA program in 1950, a doctoral program in 1958, an executive MBA in 1983 and in 2002 a Shanghai-based Executive MBA offered in partnership with Fudan University.

In 1988, the business school was named in honor of John M. Olin, chairman of the Olin Corp and a major benefactor of Washington University, in recognition of a gift from the John M. Olin Foundation.

Mahendra Gupta, PhD, became dean of Olin Business School on July 1, 2005, succeeding Stuart I. Greenbaum, PhD, who served as dean from 1995 to 2005. Lending their expertise, wisdom and strong endorsement to Olin are members of the National Council.
