General Information
The McIntire School of Commerce offers a professional program
that includes the study of the fundamental disciplines underlying the management
of organizations. Thomas Jefferson, founder of the University of Virginia, believed
a liberal arts education was key to a successful professional career. In keeping
with that tradition, students spend the first two years of undergraduate work
combining liberal arts and business prerequisite courses. Students, including
those from other schools, typically apply for admission to McIntire during their
second year.
McIntire students tackle the Schools Integrated Core
Experience (ICE), a continuously evolving third-year curriculum that updates
and refines the presentation of core business knowledge and skills. The primary
goal of the ICE program is to prepare McIntire students for the dynamic, changing
realities of todays business world.
Fourth-year students choose one or more specialized area(s)
of concentration: Accounting, Finance, Information Technology, International
Business, Management, and Marketing.
Advanced courses in each area are provided to form a total
program that is both integrative and comprehensive.
The McIntire School prepares students for an array of future
opportunities, including graduate and professional school. Part of that preparation
is the emphasis on integrative group projects and the case method of instruction
in which students analyze complex business situations. The thousands of alumni
who enjoy prominent positions throughout the world, as well as the national
ranking evidence the success of the McIntire program and reputation the school
has achieved.
History
The University of Virginia was one of the first institutions
in the United States to introduce the subject matter of economics into its curriculum.
Since the Universitys first session in 1825, courses of study in this
field have been available.
It was not until 1906 that the School of Economics was established
as a separate unit within the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1920, a division
of business administration was created in the James Wilson School of Economics.
In 1921, a donation from alumnus Paul Goodloe McIntire made it possible to establish
the McIntire School of Commerce and Business Administration. For the next 31
years the McIntire School operated as a distinct division of the College of
Arts and Sciences, but its work was closely integrated with the James Wilson
School of Economics. In 1952, the Universitys Board of Visitors approved
the establishment of the McIntire School as a professional school to be administered
as a separate unit of the University, distinct from the College of Arts and
Sciences.
The School Today
The McIntire School is a separate division of the University in the same sense as are the Schools of Architecture, Graduate Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Law, and Medicine. The McIntire School confers the Bachelor of Science in Commerce and offers Master of Science degrees in Accounting and Management 0f Information Technology. The bachelor's degree is conferred after a four-year program of studies in which the first two years are spent in another college or university in courses approved by the McIntire School. In the 2004-2005session, the undergraduate student body numbered 660 and the faculty 65.
The school is located in Monroe Hall on the Central Grounds
of the University. The building contains classrooms, seminar rooms, and administrative
and faculty offices. Computer facilities located in the building include a computer
laboratory, capital markets room and trading room complex, multimedia classrooms,
and terminals linked to other University computing facilities. In addition to
the facilities in Monroe Hall, the Universitys extensive libraries and
computing systems are available to students of the McIntire School.

accredited to offer programs at the graduate level as well as the undergraduate
level. Accreditation is offered only to those schools that meet the strict academic
standards and program requirements prescribed by the AACSB. In 1982, the school

accreditation by the AACSB in 1994.
