The Eller College of Management (Eller) is a business school at the University of Arizona located in Tucson, Arizona. The Eller College of Management began in 1913 as bachelor's degree program in commerce before becoming the University of Arizona School of Business and Public Administration in 1944. In 1999, the school was renamed the Eller College of Management in honor of its primary benefactor Karl Eller, an entrepreneur and alumnus of the University of Arizona. It is one of the largest colleges at the University of Arizona, with over 5,400 undergraduate students and nearly 700 graduate students. In addition, Eller has over 55,000 alumni worldwide.
Eller employs over 130 world-renowned faculty members, and as of 2016 offers programs in Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management Information Systems (MIS), Operations Management, Entrepreneurship, Business Administration and Management and Organizations. Its interdisciplinary program in Entrepreneurship is perennially ranked one of the world's best. It is one of the first business schools in the U.S. to promote "social entrepreneurship and awareness" as part of the traditional business school curriculum.
Admissions into Eller's undergraduate program is selective. Approximately 60% of students are admitted every semester to the "professional cohort." The application process involves a minimum GPA requirement, several prerequisite classes, resume, cover letter, interview, and skills assessment test. This thorough process is used to maintain the school's relatively high standing when compared to other public business schools.
The school is known for its close ties to the technology sector and companies that frequently recruit at Eller include IBM, Honeywell, Intel, Raytheon, Texas Instruments and Accenture.
On December 21, 2015, Dr. Paulo Goes the highly ranked Management Information Systems at the University of Arizona was named the newest dean of the Eller College of Management.
In December 2015, The Eller College of Management broke ground on a new $5 million project to expand its Professional Development Center (PDC). On August 22, 2016, the 13,000 sqare foot Karl and Stevie Eller Professional Development Center was opened to students. The PDC offers an array of interview suites, collaborative study rooms and is an open collaboration hub.
