Background
In 1939 the College of Business Administration at UCLA was authorized to institute a M.B.A. program and the first 27 graduate
students in business entered the university. A doctoral program was initiated in 1953 and in 1955 the graduate programs were
used to form a graduate school of business separate from the undergraduate school. Special agencies were then added to the
graduate school, among them the Western Data Processing Center (1956) and the Western Management Science Institute (1960).
In 1961 a master of science degree was added to the graduate school's curriculum and the school library was established. Before
the end of the 1960s, the undergraduate school and its B.S. degree in Business Administration were phased out, leaving the
Graduate School of Business Administration as the only source of business education on the UCLA campus. The present name of
the John E. Anderson Graduate School of Management was bestowed on the school in 1987.
