== Naming ==

On October 1, 2015, the Queen's School of Business was renamed the Stephen J.R. Smith School of Business in recognition of a $50-million donation from Stephen J. R. Smith, a graduate of the Queen's University's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. The donation is the largest gift ever made to a Canadian business school, growing the school's endowment from $54 million to $104 million. As of 2015, this will result in Smith being a close second in total endowment among Canadian business schools, next to only the Rotman School of Management.





== History ==

Queen's University launched its undergraduate business program in 1919, making it the oldest Bachelor of Commerce in Canada.
