The year 1789 was important for more than the inauguration of the nation's first president; it's also the year the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was chartered. UNC is the only public university that awarded degrees in the 18th century. The school stayed open during the Civil War, but closed from 1870 to 1875 during Reconstruction. In 1876, it established its first advanced degree programs.
In 1919, four years after the university's enrollment first hit 1,000, the business school opened as the Department of Commerce. It was renamed in 1991 after benefactors Mary Lily Kenan Flagler and Henry Morrison Flagler. The Kenan family has given $50 million to the university, funding projects that include the Kenan Stadium and the school's newly renovated B-school facility.
Kenan-Flagler didn't begin offering MBAs until 1952. The executive MBA program was introduced more than thirty years after. There are now 562 students in the full-time program, 354 in the executive program, and 51 PhD candidates.
Along with a top-ranked graduate program, Kenan-Flagler also touts its high-ranking undergraduate program, which has about 700 students. They praise the school for its collaborative learning environment. In response to a BusinessWeek survey, one student wrote, "Kenan-Flagler fosters teamwork among students. There aren't cutthroat people who aren't willing to study together."
