Introduction

The Dr. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. School of Business Administration was founded in 1939, and the master’s program in business administration (M.B.A.) began in 1959. The University of Portland’s program is one of only a few graduate universities in the State of Oregon that is accredited by AACSB, the Association for the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business.

Mission

The Pamplin School of Business Administration’s innovative curriculum is an outgrowth of its mission statement. This mission is to create a collaborative learning environment that develops our students’ knowledge of effective business practices, enhances their analytic and interpersonal skills, and enables them to be successful and ethical leaders in their communities and the changing world.
