Location

Monte Ahuja College of Business is located in Downtown Cleveland. It is bounded on the East 18th Street of Euclid Avenue and Chester Avenue.

History

The college was first formed as the Nance College of Business, named for James J. Nance,[2] a Cleveland industrialist who served as the university's first chairman of the board of trustees. At the onset, it was an applied vocational school, and was housed in World War II-era Quonset huts, without any permanent building on campus.[2]

In 1970, the college was renamed to the James J. Nance College of Business Administration.[2] In 2011, it was again renamed, to the Monte Ahuja College of Business, after former CSU Board of Trustees chair Monte Ahuja.[3] Ahuja had donated $10 million to the school, the largest gift in the University’s 47-year history.[3]

Programs and majors

Its Ahuja Accounting Programs are among a select group of only 168 accounting programs worldwide that hold Accounting Accreditation from AACSB International—the hallmark of management education.[4]

Ahuja's Department of Finance is known nationally and internationally as a leading Center for real estate research. The department's strength lies in three areas:[5]

  • Corporate Finance and Investment
  • Financial Institutions
  • Real Estate

The Finance faculty have been widely recognized outside the university for their scholarly achievements. Recent faculty awards and recognition include:

  • An appointment to the National Distinguished Fellows Program of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties
  • Fulbright Scholar Awards to teach in Bulgaria and Latvia
  • A grant from the State of South Carolina to work on Medicare reform

The department is also very active in encouraging many of its finance majors to take and pass the Chartered Financial Analyst Examinations (CFA).
