History
The University of Miami's business school was founded in 1929. The school's founding came in the middle of a period of financial turmoil for the university and classes were initially held in the unfinished Anastasia Hotel, near the parcel of land that would later become the university's campus.

In 2017, University of Miami President Julio Frenk appointed John Quelch, formerly of Harvard Business School, as Dean of the Business School and Vice Provost of Executive Education. Shortly after he was hired, Quelch lead an initiative to change the school's name from the University of Miami School of Business Administration to Miami Business School. On October 15, 2019, the school was once again renamed, this time in honor of Patti and Allan Herbert, a married alumni couple who had contributed approximately $100 million to the university over the course of their lifetimes. The school is currently known as the University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School.
