Overview
Founded in 1908 as one of the oldest business schools in the United States, Daniels College of Business was renamed in 1998 following a major gift from cable television pioneer Bill Daniels, whose legacy of ethical leadership remains central to the school's identity. Daniels was among the first business schools nationally to require an ethics course for all MBA students, and it holds AACSB accreditation for both business and accounting programs. The college is recognized for its emphasis on integrity, real-world consulting projects, and a curriculum that blends rigorous analytics with a strong ethical foundation.
