From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School is one of the academic divisions of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. It is known for its heavy emphasis on part-time education aimed at professionals in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, as well as for its numerous joint degree offerings with other Johns Hopkins schools, principally in the form of double masters programs.

[edit] History

The origins of the school can be traced back to 1909, when the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education ("SPSBE") was created at Hopkins. Its objective was mainly to serve the educational needs of working professionals, allowing them to complete degrees while maintaining careers. The school evolved from a teacher’s college within the Johns Hopkins University to one of eight major schools in the university. On January 1, 2007, the SPSBE separated into two new schools — the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education.^[1]

This split was engendered by philanthropist William P. Carey's announcement on December 5, 2006 of his donation of $50 million to Johns Hopkins through his own W.P. Carey Foundation. The gift is the largest to Hopkins in support of business education to date, leading the school to be named after William Carey's great-great-great-grandfather, James Carey. James was an 18th- and 19th-century Baltimore shipper, chairman of the Bank of Maryland, a member of Baltimore's first City Council, and a relative of Johns Hopkins.

[edit] Initiatives

The Carey School of Business currently is undergoing significant institutional development marked by the appointment of a new Dean, Dr. Yash Gupta, deputized with elevating the stature of the school. Presently, the school does not have flagship full time MBA program, a main campus independent of existing university facilities, or a large proprietary faculty, instead relying on mainly on adjuncts and dual appointments from other departments. These issues in combination have lead the school not be able to garner accreditation by a major business school agency, and have likewise lead to it being omitted from most major rankings of MBA programs. However, Dr. Yash Gupta has indicated that Carey Business School will seek Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB) accrediation and will aim to join the ranks of first tier institutions, e.g. the Wharton School. Dean Gupta has been elected to the board of directors of the AASCB. Gupta's three-year term on the governing body of the association will begin July 1, 2008.

[edit] Campus
