Jon M. Huntsman School of Business

By 1911, the program (then named School of Commerce) was already recognized as a leading business institution.

A 1911 newspaper report about the economics department said: When so eminent an authority as professor L. C. Marshall of the University of Chicago reports that the work in the department of economics of our school is comparable to that given in the best institutions in the country, we feel that we are paid one of the highest tributes ever.

At that time, the school included five departments: markets, business administration, accounting, political science, and history.

Its original design included a three-story classroom base and six additional stories of faculty offices, seminar rooms, and other facilities.

By 1986, the College of Business had a full-time enrollment of approximately 1,398 students in its undergraduate and graduate programs (Self-Study Report, 1986).

The Department of Economics remained under the joint administration of the Colleges of Business and Agriculture.

The Huntsman School offers seven majors encompassing the core business disciplines and 16 specialized minors.

MBA and MHR are available as part-time programs with delivery methods tailored for working professionals.

Students can select two majors from MBA, MHR, and MMIS and complete two graduate degrees in 2 years.

On November 13, 2017, The Utah Statesman published an article about the college secretly spending differential tuition without the permission of an advisory board, an amount totaling more than $8 million annually.

Due to the backlash following The Utah Statesman publication, the administration caved and had its first Advisory Board meeting.
