About the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management
The origin of the A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management (AGSM) at the UC Riverside School of Business Administration dates back to 1970 when UCR first established the Graduate School of Administration. In 1994, the A. Gary Anderson Foundation gave a generous endowment to the school and it was named after the founder of Directors Mortgage.
In that time, thousands of students have learned the business skills necessary to elevate their careers.
