History

Brandeis University, the parent institution of the Brandeis School of Business and Economics, was founded in 1948. Brandeis School of Business and Economics was first established as the Graduate School of International Economics and Finance (GSIEF), reflecting increased student enrollment in economics and finance courses, and the creation of the PhD in International Economics and Finance in 1994. In 1998, the MBA and Master of Science in Finance (MSF) programs were added, broadening the scope of the school's teaching and research.

The school was renamed Brandeis International Business School in 2003 to reflect this broader expertise and the increasing focus on international and global business. In the summer of 2025, Brandeis International Business School was controversially renamed the School of Business and Economics and in response, some have accused them of bending to the current jingoistic ferver and isolationist leanings of contemporary centers of political power and authority and their assault on academic institutions and their funding.
