Cass Business School (short for the Sir John Cass Business School, City of London) was established in 1966 as the City University Business School, the school changed its name in August 2002 following a donation from the Sir John Cass Foundation,[1] and was officially opened under its new name by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003.
The school is divided into the three faculties of Actuarial Science and Insurance, Finance, and Management.[2] It awards BSc (Hons), MSc, MBA and PhD degrees and is one of under 70 schools globally to be accredited by all of the AMBA in the United Kingdom,[3] EQUIS in Europe,[4] and the AACSB in the United States.[5]
History
The City University Business School was founded in 1966. The school’s MSc in Administrative Sciences began in 1967 and became the MBA in 1979.
In 2002 the school moved to new premises in the London Borough of Islington, and changed its name as part of a strategy formed by Lord Currie of Marylebone, who had become Dean the year before, to compete as an international business school in a market dominated by US universities.
The school had previously been spread out across the City of London’s mainly residential Barbican Centre development. Half of the £40 million funding for the new building came from the reserves of City University. The school also received a gift from Sir John Cass’s Foundation, founded in 1748 to educate children in the City of London. The school changed its name to reflect the support of the Foundation. Sir John Cass, whose bequest formed the basis of the Foundation’s funds, was a Sheriff of the City of London and Member of Parliament for the City in the early eighteenth century.
