Re: Origin of MBA
 

As you asking I am telling Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business administration (management). MBA degree originated in the United States in the early 20th century when the country industrialized and companies sought scientific approaches to management.


1930: First management and leadership education program for executives and mid-career experienced managers (the Sloan Fellows Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

1943: First Executive MBA (EMBA) program for working professionals at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.[11] Chicago was also the first business school to establish permanent campuses on three continents in Chicago (USA), Barcelona (Europe), and Singapore (Asia).

Most business schools today offer a global component to their executive MBA. Since the program was established, the school has moved its campuses and is now based in Chicago, London, and Hong Kong.

1946: First MBA focused on global management at Thunderbird School of Global Management.

1955: First MBA offered at an Asian school at the Institute of Business Administration Karachi at the University of Karachi in Pakistan, in collaboration with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

1957: First MBA offered at a European school (INSEAD).

1963: First MBA offered in Korea by Korea University Business School (KUBS).

1986: First MBA program requiring every student to have a laptop computer in the classroom at the Roy E. Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College (Florida).[citation needed] Beginning with the 19921993 academic year, Columbia Business School required all incoming students to purchase a laptop computer with standard software, becoming the first business school to do so.

1994: First online executive MBA program at Athabasca University (Canada).
