History

edit

The University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School was founded in 1929. Classes were initially held in the unfinished Anastasia Hotel, near the 160 acres (0.65 km2) that would later become the University of Miami campus.[9]

In the 1940s, the school expanded its undergraduate offerings to include majors in accounting, commerce, finance, and political science. The school grew to almost 2,000 students. In 1948, its full-time MBA program began, and in 1957, it was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

In 1973, the school established an executive MBA program. In 1979, the school added a health care specialization to its Executive MBA offerings with what is now the Executive MBA in Health Management and Policy program.

From 1992-2007, Paul K. Sugrue served as Dean.[10]

In August 2007, Barbara E. Kahn became dean after serving as a professor and administrator at the Wharton School.[11]

From 2011 to 2016, Eugene Anderson served as dean, following service in upper administration at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.

In 2017, University of Miami President Julio Frenk appointed John Quelch, formerly of Harvard Business School, as Dean of the Business School and University Vice Provost of Executive Education. Before joining Miami Herbert Business School, Dean Quelch—a marketing and health management expert—served as dean of the London Business School and of the China Europe International Business School.[12]

On October 15, 2019 the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School was named in honor of alumni Patti and Allan Herbert for $100 million in lifetime giving to the university, including an $89 million gift to the business school.[13][14]

The Undergraduate Business Education program leads to degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) or Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA).[15]

They are also permitted to pursue additional majors and minors in other disciplines in the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Education & Human Development, the School of Communication, the Frost School of Music, and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. Undergraduates at Miami Herbert Business School may also construct an individualized major in General Business, allowing them to combine areas of business study in ways that satisfy their particular academic, career, or graduate school objectives.

Undergraduate business students at Miami Herbert Business School are encouraged to study abroad and can apply financial aid and scholarship to semester-abroad programs, including UM semesters on location in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Prague, Czech Republic; Rome, Italy; Galapagos Islands, Ecuador; Cape Town, South Africa; Shanghai, China; and Manipal, India, as well as exchange partner programs at over 35 institutions.

Honors Foote Fellows at the Miami Herbert Business School pursue their curriculum without having to take general education coursework.

The Bermont/Carlin Scholars program is a competitive scholarship program for third year finance students that includes a trip to New York City to meet with executives in the investment banking industry.[16] Some students also qualify to travel to New York to learn about the industry and network with alumni. The Canes Behavioral Laboratory allows undergraduate marketing students to use behavioral research software to participate in marketing research.[17]

Graduate programs

edit

The Executive MBA program allows students to work toward a degree over 23 months on a part-time basis. Students attend classes on the Coral Gables campus that are taught by the same faculty that teach the full-time MBA program. The Executive MBA program begins each January with Saturday courses. The average age of its students is 37, and students have an average of 11 years of work experience. The average class size is 30. The UM also offers an Executive MBA in Health Sector Management and Policy program and a joint Executive MBA/MS in Industrial Engineering program, taught on the main campus.[18] The school also teaches Executive MBA programs in Palm Beach, Florida and in Puerto Rico.[18] The school has established partnerships with seven leading business schools in Argentina, Brazil, China, Peru, and Spain.
