Description
A SLOW START While not the first to offer business courses, Harvard University is credited with establishing the first business program in the U.S. exclusively for college graduates (Harvard Guide, 2004). What began in 1908 at Harvard University as a 5-year experiment with 59 students has matured into one of the most popular graduate degree programs in the U.S. However, interest in graduate degrees in business grew slowly during the first half of the twentieth century. Only 110 MBA degrees were conferred in 1910 and no more than 4,335 were awarded in 1949 (Daniel, 1998). While M.S. and M.A. degrees were offered during the early part of the 20th century, most were replaced with the MBA degree by 1950 (Daniel, 1998).
