Graduate business school of Cornell University

The Johnson School traces its beginnings to the university's founding in 1865. University co founder Ezra Cornell proposed a Department of Trade and Commerce for the new university, which was "a radical departure from the day's conventional notions about higher education," as this proposal was made "sixteen years before Joseph Wharton endowed the nation's first collegiate business school at the University of Pennsylvania." At a university faculty meeting on October 2, 1868, Cornell co founder and first president Andrew Dickson White, suggested the creation of a professorship in bookkeeping in the context of a larger proposal: the creation of a "commercial college." In the meantime, the Agriculture College continued to have a Department of Agricultural Economics and the Arts College continued to have a Department of Economics. Formal movements towards a business school began in 1914 when faculty in the NYS College of Agriculture (which today offers an undergraduate business major) convened the first meeting of the "Committee on a Commercial College". Led by economics professor Allyn Young, the committee recommended the creation of a "two year graduate course leading to the Master's degree" in both business and public administration. Young had been trained at Harvard University, and the influence on the committee's discussion of its business school's creation only six years prior was apparent, as the committee's recommendations included instruction for graduate students only, selectivity in admissions, and integration into the larger university community. Cornell courted Paul M. O'Leary, who earned his doctorate at Cornell and was a member of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "brain trust," to be dean of the new school. O'Leary leveraged an offer to be dean of the business school at the University of Minnesota in negotiations for the Cornell position, ultimately signing for a salary of $9,000. During this period faculty divisions began to emerge, with three distinct groups vying for resources: business management, public administration, and healthcare administration (the Sloan Program). In 1983, the faculty voted to end instruction in the latter two fields and to change the school's name to the Graduate School of Management. The public administration program moved to the NYS College of Human Ecology. That same year, the school began offering a dual degree MBA/MA in Asian Studies with Cornell's FALCON (Full year Asian Language Concentration) program, to produce American MBAs with some knowledge of the Japanese language and culture gained through coursework in Ithaca and a required summer internship in Japan. The school also created an MBA/MEng, originally called the Program in Manufacturing Management (PIMM). At the same time, Curtis W. Tarr was appointed the dean of the school. In 1989, Alan G. Merten was appointed dean of the Johnson School. The year 1995 saw the creation of the Johnson School's first website, as well as the launch of its first 12 month option class. Merten left in 1996 to be President of George Mason University. In 1998, the school was relocated to the newly renovated Sage Hall which had previously served as a dormitory, the school started the student managed Cayuga MBA Fund, and the Parker Center for Investment Research was established. In 1999, the JGSM began offering an Executive MBA. In 2010, the Emerging Markets Institute was established. In 2011, Johnson hosted Facebook sponsored 3 Day Startup (3DS), an event where participants worked to start a technology company over the course of three days. Later that year, a Johnson team consisting of student portfolio managers in the school's $10 million Cayuga MBA Fund won second place in CNBC's "MBA Face Off" edition of its Million Dollar Portfolio Challenge, a nine week, real time fantasy stock and currency trading competition. In 2012, Soumitra Dutta became dean of the school, followed by Mark W. Nelson in 2016 after Dutta became dean of the new Cornell College of Business. In 2016, the Johnson School was placed under the same umbrella as other Cornell schools – the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management in the NYS College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration – in the newly created College of Business that boasts nearly 3,000 students and 220 faculty – creating the country's third largest business school faculty. In January 2017, Herbert Fisk Johnson III of S. C. Johnson & Son committed $150 million for the newly formed College of Business. In recognition of this gift, the college was named the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business.

Johnson is housed entirely in Sage Hall, a 19th century High Victorian Gothic building which was originally built as a women's dormitory. It is located near the center of Cornell's main campus, across the street from the Cornell School of Hotel Administration and the four diamond Statler Hotel. Inside Sage are a management library, a café, an atrium, classrooms, an executive lounge, a trading floor, student and faculty lounges, and a parlor. There are 38 breakout rooms and two phone booths. The building also has showers, shoe shining, and out service dry cleaning. Offices are provided for all faculty and doctoral students, and MBA students are all assigned a locker. The Boas Trading Room has technology providing real time stock quotes, international data feeds, and financial analysis software and data valued at more than $1.8 million per year in licensing fees. In 2015, the City of Ithaca's Planning board approved the construction of a six story office/classroom building to rise at 209 215 Dryden Road in Collegetown, Ithaca that will house the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management upon completion. The business school will also utilize classrooms and offices at Cornell's Roosevelt Island campus upon completion of construction. As of 2024, the building is constructed and has a modern look, with an emphasis on glass and wood structures. The 76,000 square foot building offers classrooms for 450 students, three floors of administrative offices, two high definition broadcasting studios and 19 breakout rooms. Glass walls overlook a four story atrium; this central gathering spot has superior acoustics and is designed to accommodate a wide variety of events. [73]

Johnson offers a two year full time MBA program, which consists of one semester of mandatory courses (core), one semester in immersion, and an optional second year concentration. Unlike other MBA programs whose mandatory courses occupy the entire first year, Johnson utilizes an intense first semester core model, allowing students to engage in an immersion (concentration) and specialize before interviewing for summer internships. Students who do not have a business background before matriculating at Johnson may attend a week long MBA math boot camp to get up to speed, and orientation consists of a two week leadership course that culminates in the Johnson Outdoor Experience (JOE), a two day adventure based activity in the Finger Lakes foothills. For the Class of 2018, the number of applications jumped from 1,704 to 1,960, a 13.1% increase over the previous year. Overall, the program enrolled 284 students, up from 274 for the previous class. Despite this increase, the program is harder to get into, with the acceptance rate dropping from 32.4% to 27.3%. Entrance statistics for the Class of 2023 include an average score of 710 on the GMAT and a median of five years of work experience. The student body is international and diverse, with 43% of students holding citizenship outside the United States. Women comprise 42% of the Class of 2018. The core curriculum consists of one semester, divided into two halves. The first half focuses primarily on the internal aspects of the company and includes the courses Managing and Leading in Organizations 1, Microeconomics for Management, Financial Accounting, and Marketing Management. The first half then culminates in the Marketing Case Competition, sponsored by S. C. Johnson & Son. The second semester focuses on the external aspects and includes the courses Statistics for Management, Managerial Finance, and Strategy.
