The **Drucker School of Management** (formally known as the **Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management**) is the [business school](/source/Business_school) of [Claremont Graduate University](/source/Claremont_Graduate_University).

## History

In 1971, Peter Drucker left New York University and settled in California, where he developed the MBA program for working professionals at Claremont Graduate School, now [Claremont Graduate University](/source/Claremont_Graduate_University) or CGU. The university first opened its doors in 1925 and is the oldest all-graduate institution in the United States, with many notable alumni in different fields all over the world. The university established the Peter F. Drucker Graduate Management Center in his honor in 1987 (a decade later it would change from a management center to a management school). He taught his last class at the school in the spring of 2002.

[Masatoshi Ito](/source/Masatoshi_Ito) provided an initial $3 million gift to help build the school's current home and a subsequent $20 Million gift to assist the School with its future strategic plans.[1] In January 2004, Ito's name was added to the school's name, becoming the **Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management**.

The school adheres to Drucker's philosophy that management is a liberal art, taking into account not only economics, but also an ethical, holistic dimension that includes history, social theory, law, and the sciences.[2]
