Haas School of Business

The Walter A. Haas School of Business is one of 14 schools and colleges at the University of California, Berkeley.

The College of Commerce was founded in 1898 and the Department of Business Administration was established in 1942. In 1943, the School of Business Administration was established to replace the College of Commerce. It was renamed in 1989 and is the oldest business school at a public university. As of 2003-2004, it has 160 faculty members and 1680 students in six academic degree programs. The current Dean is former Congressman Tom Campbell.

The school is situated in three connected buildings surrounding a central courtyard on the southeastern corner of the central campus. Designed by Charles Moore, the mini-campus was completed in 1995.
