The Sauder School of Business is a business school at the University of British Columbia located in the University Endowment Lands, just west of the city limits of Vancouver, Canada, which provides diploma, bachelor, masters and Ph.D. programs. There are currently 24 000 alumni in 60 countries.
Originally named the UBC Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, it was renamed on June 5, 2003 to the Sauder School of Business, coinciding with the donation of a $20 million endowment by Dr. William Sauder. The $20 million endowment was, at the time, the largest single private donation ever made to name a Canadian business school.

[edit] History
In response to lobbying by the business community represented by members of the Vancouver Board of Trade, the university offered its first Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1929 through the Faculty of Arts and Science. A Department of Commerce came into existence in 1939 became the School of Commerce in 1950.
The Sales and Marketing Executive Program began in 1950; thereafter, the school established partnerships with C.G.S, C.A., C.M.A, Banff School of Management, Real Estate Institute and the Real Estate Council of British Columbia.
Graduate business education began at UBC in 1952 with the introduction of the Master of Commerce degree which would be renamed an MBA in 1955. In 1956 the university established a Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, with E.D. McPhee as the first Dean. While maintaining its official name for ceremonial purposes, the Faculty would later re-brand itself as UBC Commerce. The Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration established overseas business schools in Malaysia in 1961 and in Singapore in 1962.
In 1962 the school began construction on the Henry Angus Building which would become home of the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration.
In 1969, the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration launched a new PhD, accepting doctoral students for study in advanced business administration.
The David Lam Management Research Centre opened in 1992, construction of which was made possible through a gift from David See-Chai Lam, former Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and his wife Dorothy. The building is home to the David Lam Management Research Library.

On June 5, 2003, the school was renamed the Sauder School of Business.
