The Knight Executive Education Center is a part of the Olin Business School.

The Olin Business School is one of seven academic schools at Washington University in St. Louis. Founded in 1917, the business school was renamed for entrepreneur John M. Olin in 1988. The school offers BSBA, Master of Business Administration (MBA), MS in Supply Chain Management, MS in Finance, Masters in Accounting, MS in Customer Analytics, MS in Leadership, Executive MBA, Doctor of Business in Finance (DBA) and PhD degrees. In 2002, an Executive MBA program was established in Shanghai, in cooperation with Fudan University.

The Olin Business School includes the 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) Simon Hall, whose 1986 construction was largely funded by a gift from John E. Simon; Knight and Bauer Halls, whose 2014 construction was largely funded by gifts from Charles F. And Joanne Knight and George and Carol Bauer; and the Charles F. Knight Executive Education and Conference Center, all on the Danforth Campus.

Olin has a network of about 19,190 alumni across the world.[2] In the late 2000s, the business school’s endowment rose to $249 million (2007); annual gifts averaged $12 million per year.

On July 1, 2009, the school took over management of the Brookings Institute's executive management program.[3]

Programs

BSBA Program

At Olin, undergraduate students are admitted directly into the BSBA program as freshmen.

To graduate, students must complete a minimum of 120 units of coursework.[10] 40% of classes must be outside the areas of business. Students can choose from eight different business majors: Accounting, Economics and Strategy, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Healthcare Management, Marketing, Leadership and Strategic Management, and Operations and Supply Chain Management. Olin students can also minor in International Business, the Business of Entertainment, or the Business of Sports Management.[11]

Students declare their business administration major (or majors) during their sophomore year. Students can also earn a second major or minor from one of the university’s other schools, such as the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Engineering & Applied Science, or Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.

Nonbusiness students from other WUSTL schools also can minor in the following business fields: Accounting, Business Economics, Business of Sports, Entrepreneurship, Finance, General Business, Healthcare Management, International Business, Leadership, Marketing, Operations and Supply Chain Management, and Strategy.[12]

MBA Program

Olin has four main rounds and after June they have rolling admissions.

The MBA curriculum requires completion of 66 credit hours, nearly two-thirds of which are elective courses selected by the student. The fall semester of year one focuses on critical thinking, leadership, career strategy, and the major functional areas of business. During the spring semester of year one and throughout year two, students take mostly elective courses of their choosing, often following the guidelines of concentration areas that help students navigate the curriculum toward their career goals. Elective courses include semester-long (3 credit) courses, six week “mini” (1.5 credit) courses, and work-study positions. Olin MBAs can also take up to nine credits of approved coursework from other graduate programs at Washington University.

Exchange Programs

MBA students can choose to study one semester at Manchester Business School in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology in Hong Kong; Otto Beisheim Graduate School of Management at WHU-Koblenz in Koblenz, Germany; École Management de Lyon (EM Lyon) in Lyon, Paris Dauphine University, France; the Institute for Advanced Studies in Administration (IESA) in Caracas, Venezuela; ESADE (Escuela Superior De Administracion Y Direccion De Empresas) in Barcelona, Spain; or the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and Indian Institute of Management Calcutta in India.

Executive Education Program

The Executive MBA Program in Kansas City

The school's Executive Programs group is in the Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center on the Danforth Campus. The school also maintains Executive MBA programs in Denver, Kansas City, Missouri, Shanghai (at Fudan University), and Mumbai (at Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, Shailesh J. Mehta School of Management). [13]

Specialized Masters Programs

Specialized Masters business degrees can typically be completed in three semesters. Three programs — Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MSSCM), Master of Science in Customer Analytics (MSCA), and Master of Science in Finance-Quantitative Finance (MSFQ) — hold STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) designations.[14] The Master of Accounting (MACC) can be structured to meet CPA exam eligibility requirements. The MSF program also offers tracks in Corporate Finance & Investments (MSFC) and a four- to six-semester Global Masters (GMF) that pairs the MSF degree with a second program at one of our partner institutions.[15] The Financial Times ranks Olin's MSF program third in the United States and 27th in the world.[16]

Doctoral Program

The PhD program emphasizes economics, quantitative methodology, mentoring by faculty, preparing students for careers in scholarship and teaching. There are usually 50 students enrolled in the Ph.D program. A DBA in finance also is offered for individuals pursuing applied research in corporations, banks, government and consulting.[17]
