Invest In Tepper

It is an exciting time at the Tepper School of Business. Many enhancements have been made and continue to be made as we strategically invest in academic innovation, our student experience, intellectual capital and global visibility to ensure the Tepper School maintains and improves its status as a leader in business education.

Since Ken Dunn was named Dean of the Tepper School in 2003, 45 new MBA electives have been introduced; the undergraduate business program has added a new requirement for a minor outside of the Tepper School; and the collaborative Master’s in Computational Finance program continues to grow.

Our student experience has improved thanks, in part, to the creation of a master’s student government (GBA). The COC staff also has expanded, helping ensure Tepper School graduates continue to be in high demand by companies and recruiters. In fact, the average starting salary for a Tepper MBA graduate rose 25 percent from the Class of 2004 to the Class of 2008.

Since 2003, many new faculty chairs have been established, ensuring greater resources to retain top senior faculty as well as recruit top junior faculty to the Tepper School. Globally, the Tepper network is growing as the number of alumni chapters has risen from 2 to 33 (as of January 2009), with approximately one-third of the chapters based outside of the United States, and we continue to invest in our infrastructure, having recently renovated our auditoriums, classrooms and added new conference and study rooms.

All of this would not have been possible without the financial generosity of our alumni and friends. There are many ways you can help make an impact to the Tepper School of Business. Select a link in the right hand column on this page to learn more or to make your gift immediately.
