History
The Mendoza College of Business was founded in 1921 by Holy Cross priest, John Francis O'Hara. Rev. O'Hara later became the president of the University and a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. Four years earlier, in 1917, Notre Dame had become the first university in the United States to launch a four-year program of study in "foreign commerce."
Carolyn Woo, Martin J. Gillen Dean and Ray and Milann Siegfried Professor in Entrepreneurial Studies, joined the College in June 1997. In March 2000, the College of Business received a naming gift from NetApp, Inc. executives, Tom and Kathy Mendoza.

Declaring oneself as a future business major in the spring of freshman year allows students to take any and all courses available at the college.
Business on the Frontlines
Business on the Frontlines is an MBA course offered at college, taught by Viva Bartkus, an associate professor of business management.[10] The goal for students participating in the course is to explore business in a real life context in countries trying to rebuild their economies after a war or violent conflict.
The two components of the course, first taught in spring 2009, are a classroom segment where students study developmental economies and topics related to peace-through-commerce efforts, and a field visit to explore in detail the activities and impact of local and international business in post-war reconstruction societies.[11]
To date, students have traveled to Kenya, Lebanon, Bosnia, Rwanda, Uganda, and the Philippines.
In 2010, Forbes recognized the class as one of the 10 most innovative business school classes in the country.[12]
