Founded in 1917, Olin has a longstanding reputation for outstanding management education. We equip high-potential students with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to become leaders in a time of intense competition and global change.

Olin offers the BS in Business Administration (BSBA), the Master of Science in Finance (MSFin), the Masters in Business Administration — with options for full-time (MBA), Professional/evening (PMBA), and Executive (EMBA) — the PhD, and non-degree Executive Programs.
Olin boasts a faculty of distinguished scholars, researchers, and managers whose quest for knowledge and foresight keeps them ahead-of-the-curve on trends in marketing, entrepreneurship, international business, financial markets, and technology. A short list of their awards and accomplishments includes Batterymarch Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and serving as a Federal Reserve economist.
