Carey Business School

The Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School is one of the academic divisions of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.

History

The origins of the school can be traced back to 1909, when the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education ("SPSBE") was created at Hopkins. Its objective was mainly to serve the educational needs of working professionals, allowing them to complete degrees while maintaining careers. The school evolved from a teacher’s college within the Johns Hopkins University to one of eight major schools in the university. On January 1, 2007, the SPSBE separated into two new schools — the Johns Hopkins University Carey Business School and the Johns Hopkins University School of Education.^[1]

Philanthropist William P. Carey announced December 5, 2006 his donation of $50 million to The Johns Hopkins University. He is a trustee emeritus at Hopkins and is donating the money through his W.P. Carey Foundation. The gift is the largest to Hopkins in support of business education and will be called the Carey Business School. The Hopkins business school will be named after William Carey's great-great-great-grandfather, James Carey, who was an 18th- and 19th-century Baltimore shipper, chairman of the Bank of Maryland, a member of Baltimore's first City Council and a relative of Johns Hopkins.
