The Management Education Institute, later the Arthur D. Little School of Management, was founded in 1964 by Arthur D. Little Inc, the world's oldest management consulting firm. The institution developed a one-year postgraduate degree program in management that was launched as the school's first program. Only five years earlier, in 1959, the Ashridge Management College was established in the United Kingdom. Among Ashridge's initial partners were companies like Shell, Guinness and Unilever. Ten years later, in 1969, Ashridge had expanded its operations to include more than 100 programs and more than 2,000 annual participants. Arthur D. Little School of Management was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in 1976, allowing for higher academic integrity in a city where universities like Harvard had thrived for more than a century.
