Message from the Dean of the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management
“The Drucker Difference”
We are a unique professional school of management – small, intimate, diverse, and values-driven. With a core faculty that is distinguished for both its teaching and applied research, we offer a range of management programs that equip graduates to lead successful and significant careers. Our talented student body comes from over 20 countries, and our network of 4,200 alumni connects graduates to opportunities in multiple sectors of the global marketplace. By embracing the philosophy of Peter Drucker, considered the father of modern management, we are committed to producing effective managers and ethical leaders. We challenge our students to do well and to do good, and we prepare them not only for business, but also for management and leadership roles in the nonprofit sector, government, and academia. We call this “The Drucker Difference.”
Nestled in the foothills of the beautiful San Gabriel mountains and only 35 miles from both downtown Los Angeles and some of the world’s best beaches, The Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management is part of the only comprehensive graduate research university in America and is linked to the strong constellation of Claremont Colleges – including Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, and the Keck Graduate Institute. Drucker’s location in the heart of one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country, the Inland Empire, affords a magnificent setting for a reflective but rigorous, interactive but individualized course of study that produces graduates who remain part of the extended Drucker family for a lifetime.
Here at Drucker, we approach management as an art as well as a science. We place emphasis on both management and leadership, analytical skills and intuition, on getting ahead and leaving a legacy behind. Our faculty are prolific and accessible, our staff is professional and personal, our courses both traditional and cutting-edge. In small classes led by core faculty with global reputations, students at Drucker acquire knowledge not only from professors but also from one another.
We call ourselves an “M” School, not just a “B” School. We are training future managers and leaders for all sectors of society, both in the U.S. and globally. We are not afraid to ask some of the big questions facing business, government, and society at large, and we constantly explore the new frontiers of knowledge and practice, just as Peter Drucker taught us to. If you are looking to explore the future of management today, we welcome your visit and I encourage you to be in touch with me personally. We will impart the skills if you are prepared to stretch and to aspire for making a difference. We will help you achieve what you want to do and we will help you to discover who you want to be.
