[2] The D'Amore-McKim School of Business can trace its history back to the earliest days of Northeastern's existence, when commerce and industry courses were offered in 1907 by the School of Commerce and Finance of the Boston Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA).

The fundamental aim of the school was to provide students with courses in commerce, accounting and finance in preparation for business positions.

Constructed in 1952, it was named for Robert Gray Dodge, chairman of Northeastern's Board of Trustees from 1936 to 1959.
