About Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management

The Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management is the graduate business school of Cornell University, a private Ivy League research university in Ithaca, New York. Established in 1946, Johnson is one of six Ivy League business schools and offers the smallest full‑time MBA cohort of all Ivy League MBA programs, fostering an intimate and collaborative academic environment while also maintaining the third lowest acceptance rate. The Cornell Master of Business Administration (MBA) also offers a one-year Tech MBA at Cornell Tech in New York City, as well as the Cornell 1+1 MBA program, combining one year in Ithaca followed by one year at Cornell Tech. In 1984, Samuel Curtis Johnson Jr. and his family donated $20 million to the school, and in 2017 Herbert Fisk Johnson donated $150 million, the third largest gift to a business school in history. The endowment gift resulted in the school's renaming in honor of Johnson’s grandfather, Samuel Curtis Johnson, Sr., the founder of S.C. Johnson.
