D'Amore-McKim School of Business

What D'Amore-McKim School of Business does

D'Amore-McKim School of Business is the business school of Northeastern University, a private nonprofit research university in Boston, Massachusetts. The school operates as a degree-granting academic unit within the parent institution, founded in 1920 (renamed to D'Amore-McKim in 2013 following a $60 million gift from trustees Richard D'Amore and George McKim) and accredited by AACSB International across all programs. It enrolls approximately 7,596 students (Fall 2025), split between 6,051 undergraduates and 1,545 graduate students.

The school's product portfolio spans undergraduate BS programs in Business Administration and International Business; graduate MBA variants (Full-Time, Part-Time, Online, and AI MBA); specialized MS degrees in Accounting, Business Analytics, Quantitative Finance, Finance, International Management, Management, Fintech Management, and Extended Realities; dual degrees (e.g., JD/MBA, MS Quantitative Finance/MBA); PlusOne accelerated master's tracks for current Northeastern undergraduates; roughly 15 graduate certificates including AI Applications for Business and Business Analytics; and customized executive education for enterprise clients. Its defining pedagogical platform is the signature cooperative education (co-op) program, which places students in full-time paid roles with 600+ employer partners across 60+ countries, supplemented by 3, 6, or 12-month corporate residencies for MBA students, a Bloomberg Business Lab for finance training, and the IDEA student venture accelerator (which has raised $396 million for 97 ventures). The DMSB AI Strategic Hub coordinates AI integration across academic programs, supported by a new AI MBA, an AI applications certificate, and an Interdisciplinary AI Minor. Marketing and admissions run through rankings exposure (Poets&Quants, U.S. News, Bloomberg Businessweek), digital/social channels, and a student ambassador model, with 13 Northeastern campuses in 3 countries serving as distribution infrastructure.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition from undergraduate and graduate degree programs (subscription-style annual billing administered via Northeastern's central admissions and financial services), corporate co-op and residency agreements with employer partners, and customized executive education contracts with named enterprises (Hasbro, IBM, Natixis, Novant Health, BCBSMA, Eastman, Ericsson). As a school within a private nonprofit university, D'Amore-McKim is not separately revenue-disclosed, operates without external equity ownership, and is currently led by Interim Dean Rajesh K. Aggarwal following the Dunton Family Dean David De Cremer's leave.
