Carlson School of Management

At the Carlson School of Management, business education exists at the intersection of theory and practice and has a key role in finding solutions to real-life business challenges. We approach business education from a global perspective. International study isn't just an expectation of our students -- it's part of our culture. In fact, few schools can match our level of student participation in study abroad programs. Coupled with our Enterprise programs we offer an unparalleled opportunity for MBA students to apply classroom theories to real-world business with student-led venture capital, brand and marketing management, funds management, and consulting businesses.

Founded in 1919 with 14 faculty members and a student enrollment of 88, today the Carlson School boasts nearly 5,000 students, 10 degree programs, 107 tenure-track faculty. The school received accreditation from the AACSB in 1963, one of the first 20 business schools in the nation to be awarded this distinction.

Since its founding, the Carlson School has been an active player in one of the country's most vibrant business communities, and the generosity of many business partners has helped the school grow over the years. Most notable among these benefactors is Curt Carlson, successful entrepreneur, alum, and namesake of the school.
