In 1946, Cornell University founded the School of Business and Public Administration.[2] The school was housed in Malott Hall.[2] In 1984 the school was renamed for benefactor Samuel Curtis Johnson, Sr., founder of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. He and his family's $20 million endowment gift to the university was, at the time, the largest gift to any business school in the world.[3]
The Johnson School is located on the main campus of Cornell University, which is situated immediately south of Central Campus, across the street from the Hotel School and Statler Hotel. The school is housed inside Sage Hall, a 1873 edifice that exhibits late 19th century High Victorian Gothic architecture. Before housing the business school, the building served as a dormitory for women, the U.S. Navy, freshman, and lastly graduate students until the university's decision in 1993 to renovate the structure in order to accommodate Johnson.[4] A $38.2 million, two-year renovation increased the building's capacity 65 percent and readied the facility technologically to house the school.[2]
The Johnson Graduate School of Management has a wide assortment of business related programs. It has the standard MBA degree, and for those with advanced science or technical degrees, there is a fast track Accelerated MBA program which is completed in 12 months.
The Johnson School also has two Executive MBA programs. Established in 1999, the Cornell Executive MBA Program is based in Palisades NY, approximately 15 miles north of Manhattan. This program uses a traditional classroom setting at the IBM Executive Education Center. In 2005 the Johnson School launched the Cornell-Queen's Executive MBA program (originally called the Cornell Boardroom Executive MBA program) in partnership with Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. This program organizes participants into teams of 6-8 people in cities across the USA and Canada and links these teams via multi-point, interactive videoconferencing for class sessions. In addition, the Johnson School also provides a PhD degree in Business. The Johnson School also has MBA exchange programs with 21 universities in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
The Johnson School of Management has numerous options for dual-degree programs on the undergraduate and graduate level: MEng/MBA, JD/MBA, MBA/MA in Asian Studies, MILR/MBA, MD/MBA, MBA/MPS in Real Estate, and MBA/MHA (Masters of Health Administration).
The Johnson School does not offer undergraduate business degrees. However, Cornell's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences does, and the Johnson School participates in joint programs in which students receive both undergraduate non-business and graduate business degrees.[5]
The S.C. Johnson School of Management's interdisciplinary centers include the Center for Leadership, the Center for Manufacturing Enterprise, the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise and the Parker Center for Investment Research. Cornell's chapter of Net Impact hosted the organization's annual conference at the Johnson School, where GE CEO Jeff Immelt was the keynote speaker.[6]
