Carlson School of Management

The Carlson School of Management is the business school of the University of Minnesota, a public research university located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in 1919 as the School of Business Administration, it was renamed in 1986 following a major donation from Curtis L. Carlson, founder of Carlson Companies. The school offers undergraduate, MBA, master's, doctoral, and executive education programs, and is recognized for its strengths in international business, entrepreneurship, supply chain management, and finance. The Carlson School emphasizes experiential learning through consulting projects, case competitions, and global immersion programs, and its faculty are actively engaged in research across a wide range of business disciplines.
