Venue description

This department was established in 1918, The Richard J. Fox School of Business and Management name was conferred in 1999. The School has a long history of innovation in education, introducing new curriculum and programs in advance of current business trends. In 1942, it added an MBA program. By 1970, when the MBA became a vital tool for career development, the program was already well-known in the region. The continued expansion and strengthening of the program led to its accreditation in 1973 by AACSB, the International Association for Management Education. The PhD program in Economics was established in 1976 and is now one of three accredited PhD programs at The Fox School. Accreditation ensures that the school continually meets high standards in admissions policy, curricula, faculty, library and computer facilities, and educational innovation and technology.

Requests for specific accessible housing and medically-related accommodations should be made on the license agreement. Students who require housing accommodations should present their written requests as early as possible. If uncertain of particular housing needs, ask professional staff members at DRS and University Housing and Residential Life. Each year, students are required to reapply for University Housing. Students with documented disabilities and other medical needs are offered priority consideration if their condition continues to warrant housing accommodation.
