[edit] History

Endowed in 2003 with a $50 million pledge from the W. P. Carey Foundation, the W. P. Carey School of Business has quickly become internationally recognized for its top-notch faculty, research, services marketing, and supply chain management programs.

At the time, the $50 million pledge was the second-largest single donation to any U.S. business school, according to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and it represents the largest gift in the history of Arizona State University.

On October 29, 2011, W. P. Carey School of Business Dean Robert E. Mittelstaedt. Jr. and ASU President Michael Crow were among those to commemorate the groundbreaking of McCord Hall[1], named for Arizona philanthropist Sharon Dupont McCord and the late Bob McCord. Set to open in summer 2013, McCord Hall will be a state-of-the-art 129,000 square foot facility, featuring more classrooms for graduate programs and undergraduate honors students, technologically advanced team rooms, a new career center, outdoor assembly areas, and the latest in environmental innovation. The facility will use 30% less water and 35% less energy than similar facilities, and will include a solar array that returns power to the campus grid.

The W. P. Carey School of Business and the W. P. Carey MBA are accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
