Lacy School of Business

Where the experience isn’t extra—it’s everything.

Think of all the things you love about business: Every day is different. You get to solve problems and build creative solutions. And you get to do it side-by-side with other talented, driven people.

We’ve taken all those things and built them into the Lacy experience. From your first days here, you won’t just talk about business, but you’ll do it—in classes, internships, and other immersive experiences.

A building that means business

The 110,000-square-foot Dugan Hall is more than just another pretty building. We designed every part of Dugan, opened in 2019, to enable more effective learning. Collaborative breakout spaces, a trading room where you’ll manage real money, and classrooms loaded with real-world tech mean where you learn influences how you learn.

Lacy’s legacy

Small-and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the American economy. It’s a lesson Andre Lacy knew well, and it’s also a lesson he knew Butler holds dear. The transformational $25 million gift he and his wife, Julia, gave us ensures we’ll continue to teach students how to build businesses he’d be proud of.
