The Jaggi School of Business at Missouri S&T was established in 2025 through a $12.5 million gift from alumnus Dennis Jaggi and his wife, Janet. 

Building on this foundation, the Jaggi School of Business is launching new scholarships, expanding library and database resources, hiring endowed faculty and introducing new finance and accounting programs, tentatively set to begin in Fall 2027.

S&T’s business and information technology (BIT) department faculty, staff and programs provide the basis for the Jaggi School of Business. 

“We are very excited to build on the success of the BIT department as we roll out this exciting new venture,” says  Kummer College Dean Jim Sterling. “The launch of the Jaggi School of Business at S&T supports our university North Star Goals leveraging our status as a public R1 research university to grow student enrollment.” 

Leadership positions have also been determined. Cassie Elrod is interim director, and Sarah Stanley is associate interim director.
