[edit] History

The school was established by Edward Tuck, and was originally named the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance (in memory of his father). In 1941, the official name was changed to the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration.

Tuck initially donated $300,000 in the form of 1,700 shares of preferred stock in the Great Northern Railway Company of Minnesota. He later gave $100,000 to build the first Tuck Hall (now McNutt Hall) in 1901, and over $500,000 for the current Tuck Hall complex in 1929.

The Tuck School

The MBA program at the Tuck School has been ranked first for several years by The Wall Street Journal, and is also currently ranked first by Forbes. Tuck has consistently been ranked among the top ten business schools in the world by BusinessWeek, U.S. News & World Report, and the Financial Times. Tuck, Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Columbia Business School are the only US business schools currently ranked in the top ten of each of these five major publications. These five publications are the main ranking systems in which the top business school programs participate. The Tuck School has also been ranked first several times by the Economist's sister publication, the Economist Intelligence Unit, in its rankings. Many leading business schools in other countries have exchange programs with Tuck, including the Handelshochschule Leipzig (HHL), the HEC School of Management, IESE and London Business School.
