History and Overview

The Charles F. Dolan School of Business was established in 1978, having been a Department of Business Administration for 31 years within the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1981, in response to a stated need by the business community within ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ County, the School began its Master of Science in Financial Management program. The Certificate for Advanced Study in Finance was initiated in 1984. In 1994, in response to unprecedented market demand, the School introduced the Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program which now has concentrations in Accounting, Analytics, Cybersecurity, Finance, Management, and Marketing with additional specializations in Global Strategy, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, Strategic Human Resources, and Marketing Analytics. ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Dolan has extensively expanded since 1978 in its programs and offerings.

ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Dolan faculty have an average of 10 years of professional business experience to accompany their strong academic preparation which includes an earned doctorate and, in nearly every case, previous academic work in the liberal arts and sciences, scholarly contributions and ongoing research interests, and continuing professional involvement in their chosen areas of expertise. The School faculty are dedicated to teaching excellence and they have the unique ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice because of their business experience and strong academic backgrounds.
