, the Faculty of Management originated from a two-year commerce program. The Commerce program is named the School of Commerce, and the first Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) degrees are awarded by McGill in 1915. The McGill School of Commerce was founded in 1920, independent of the Faculty of Arts. The Graduate School of Business Administration was established in 1963 and graduated its first MBA class in 1965. The Graduate School of Business Administration was later merged with the School of Commerce in 1968 to form the Faculty of Management. The Faculty of Management is located in the Samuel Bronfman Building which was named in honour of Samuel Bronfman for his donation of the building in 1972. The joint MBA/Law program received approval in 1978 and applications begin in 1979. In the 1980s, the Faculty established the Management Science Research Centre, Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (now named the McGill Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship), Centre for Strategy Studies in Organizations, Centre for International Management Studies and the Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics. The Faculty also launched the Applied Investments Program, which was the first program of its kind in Canada. The McGill Institute of Marketing (MIM) was launched in 1992. In 1996, three new programs were established: the International Masters Program in Practicing Management (IMPM) (now named the International Masters Program for Managers), the Joint MD/MBA program, and, in conjunction with the Faculty of Engineering, the Masters in Manufacturing Management (MMM), which has since been renamed the Global Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Program (GMSCM). In 1998, the Faculty launched the MBA Japan program, the first Canadian degree program offered in Japan. In 2005, the Faculty of Management was renamed to the Desautels Faculty of Management in honor of Marcel Desautels, a retired executive from the credit reference industry, who made several gifts of more than $32 million total to the faculty. The Desmarais Global Finance Research Centre, made possible by a donation from the Desmarais family, was also established. In 2007, Marcel Desautels received an honorary McGill doctorate in recognition of his outstanding contributions to business education. In July 2008, he was made a Member of the

In May 2017, the faculty announced a $25 million donation from the Bensadoun Family Foundation for the development of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management: an interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art school dedicated to all facets of the retail industry. In January 2017, it was announced that the new building for the MBA and master’s programs would be named in honour of Professor Don E. Armstrong, founder of the faculty’s MBA. The MBA and master’s programs officially moved into the building in January 2018. The 48,666 sq. ft. expansion brings new dedicated teaching and learning spaces that benefit all in the Faculty. In response to the growing needs of organizations for business analytics, the Desautels Faculty of Management launched the Master of Management in Analytics (MMA) program in January 2018. The MMA degree is a pre-experience, twelve-month specialized program in the evolving field of management analytics. The MMA welcomed its first cohort in the summer of 2018. In November 2018, the Bensadoun School of Retail Management opened its doors. The school features a state-of-the-art Retail Innovation Lab in collaboration with convenience store chain Couche-Tard, which opened in January 2021. In August 2021, the school welcomed its first cohort in the Master of Management in Retailing.
