The University of Chicago Booth School of Business is a graduate business school located in Chicago, Illinois, at the University of Chicago. Formerly known as the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, Chicago Booth is the second-oldest business school in the U.S.,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicago Booth History )〕 the first such school to offer an Executive MBA program,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Executive MBA Council )〕 and the first to initiate a Ph.D. program in business.〔 The school was renamed in 2008 following a $300 million endowment gift to the school by alumnus David G. Booth. The school has the third-largest endowment of any business school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Subtle Strategist )〕 The school's flagship campus is located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago on the main campus of the university. The school also maintains additional campuses in London and Asia (originally Singapore, but in July 2013 a move to Hong Kong was announced),〔(U. of Chicago to Move Asia M.B.A. Program From Singapore to Hong Kong ) ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' July 11, 2013 〕〔"University of Chicago Moves Asia M.B.A. Program to Hong Kong from Singapore The School Cites 'Proximity to China' as a Prime Attraction" ''Wall Street Journal'' July 11, 2013 ()〕 as well as in downtown Chicago on the Magnificent Mile. In addition to conducting graduate business programs, the school conducts research in the fields of finance, economics, quantitative marketing research, and accounting. Chicago Booth's MBA program is currently ranked first globally by ''the Economist''.〔(Full time MBA ranking )〕 ==History== Chicago Booth traces its roots back to 1898 when university faculty member James Laurence Laughlin chartered the ''College of Commerce and Politics'', which was intended to be an extension of the school's founding principles of "scientific guidance and investigation of great economic and social matters of everyday importance." The program originally served as a solely undergraduate institution until 1916, when academically oriented research masters and later doctoral-level degrees were introduced. In 1916, the school was renamed the ''School of Commerce and Administration''. Soon after in 1922, the first doctorate program was offered at the school. In 1932, the school was rechristened as the ''School of Business''.〔 The School of Business offered its first Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 1935. A landmark decision was taken by the school at about this time to concentrate its resources solely on graduate programs, and accordingly, the undergraduate program was phased out in 1942. In 1943, the school launched the first Executive MBA program. The school was renamed to ''Graduate School of Business'' (or more popularly, the ''GSB'') in 1959, a name that it held till 2008. During the later half of the twentieth century, the business school was instrumental in the development of the Chicago School of economics, an economic philosophy focused on free-market, minimal government involvement, due to faculty and student interaction with members of the university's influential Department of Economics. Other innovations by the school include initiating the first PhD program in business (1920), founding the first academic business journal (1928), offering the first Executive MBA (EMBA) program (1943), and for offering the first weekend MBA program (1986).〔()〕〔()〕 Students at the school founded the National Black MBA Association (1972), and it is the only U.S. business school with permanent campuses on three continents: Asia (2000), Europe (1994), and North America (1898). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Booth School of Business」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
