History
The College of Business Administration was founded in 1910 as simply the School of Economics, and obtained its current status as a college in 1923. Forty-three years later, in 1953, the College offered its first graduate school classes. The graduate programs were spun off into the Marquette University Graduate School of Management in 2006. In 2008, the alumni base of the college topped 20,000 graduates worldwide.
Programs and reputation
The College of Business Administration offers bachelor's, master's and executive master's degrees as well as dual-degree programs in conjunction with other schools such as law. The College is divided between five academic departments: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing.
In 2012, U.S. News and World Report ranked Marquette's executive MBA and part-time MBA programs in the top 20 and top 50 in the nation, respectively.
