History

The Catholic University of America announced Jan. 8, 2013 the creation of a School of Business and Economics. Previously housed in the School of Arts and Sciences as Department of Business and Economics, the University’s Board of Trustees voted in December 2012 to confirm the creation of the school commencing Jan. 1, 2013 after a three-year process of discernment, evaluation, and planning.[1][2]

In 2016, the School was renamed the Tim and Steph Busch School of Business and Economics after a $15 million donation from the Busch Family Foundation. Tim Busch, a businessman from Irvine, California, and a university trustee, is founder and chief executive of Pacific Hospitality Group and The Busch Firm.[3] The donation went to renovating the business school’s Maloney Hall, fund its academic programs and to support the new Institute for Human Ecology, which will respond to Pope Francis’ call in his 2015 encyclical Laudato si'.[4]
