“I’m incredibly excited that we are now the Knauss School of Business. We’ve been talking about the importance of a named school of business since I arrived at USD 20 years ago. If you think about all the schools around the country that have named programs, they bring a level of prestige to their university — as well as honor to the students and the alumni who graduate from those great schools — whether it’s Wharton or Sloan or Kellogg or Tuck. Having a name associated with USD’s business school — which will identify it over time as one of the top-quality business schools in the country — is very important. Because if you’re associated with the name, it brings a new sense of pride for students and alumni. So, the intangible psychological impact will be pretty enormous.” #1 # 1 M B A P R O G R A M I N S A N D I E G O #60 in the U.S. — Bloomberg Businessweek
