Bocconi University was founded in 1902 as the first university in Italy to offer a degree program in Economics.
Since then, the University has been fulfilling its cultural role in society consistently with its vocation as a free, open and pluralistic institution, independent of any external conditioning, autonomous both economically and scientifically and didactically.Bocconi today constitutes a scientific and cultural point of reference in the economic, managerial, quantitative and legal sciences.
