The Northeastern University D'Amore-McKim School of Business was founded in 1922 and the Graduate School of Business Administration in 1952. The D'Amore-McKim School of Business is accredited by AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The Co-op M.B.A. program matriculates a class of about 80 students each fall and spring. A typical entering class includes students from fifteen or more countries other than the United States. Career goals can be equally diverse. About 90 percent have work experience, and 65 percent have earned their undergraduate degrees in areas other than business.
Graduates of the program pursue careers in every function and industry, private and not-for-profit, around the world. A required course in career management ensures that graduates are adept both at securing their first jobs following the degree and advancing their careers in subsequent steps.
On September 12, 2012, Northeastern University announced a $60 million gift by Northeastern University alumni Richard D’Amore, and Alan McKim, "the largest philanthropic investment in the university’s history...[and] the fourth-largest gift to name a business school in the United States." As a result of the gift, Northeastern’s College of Business Administration was renamed the D’Amore-McKim School of Business.
The college offers the BSBA and BSIB degrees and the graduate school offers the Master of Science and MBA degrees. Master of Science degrees are offered in Accounting, Taxation, Finance, International Business, and Technological Entrepreneurship. The school also offers several certificates including Advanced Study in Management, Supply Chain Management, and Technological Entrepreneurship.
