About the
Department

Department of Commerce, Faculty of Commerce and Business, Delhi School of Economics,

University of Delhi, traces its origins back to December 1967, when it was established as a
separate entity. Since its inception, the department has imbibed the DSE tradition of
exploring new frontiers of knowledge and innovation in academics. In its history spanning
over three decades, it has redefined commerce education in the country. The Department
prides itself on being a premier education and research institute in the discipline of Business
and Commerce in the country. The rapid growth of the Department of Commerce is reflected
in its expansion as well as the novelty in its academic programmes.

In 1995, keeping up with the needs of the industry, the Department of Commerce introduced
two postgraduate professional courses called, Master of Human Resource and
Organizational Development (MHROD) and Master of International Business (MIB). In a very
short span, these courses carved a niche for themselves in the market. Later, in 2014, both of
these courses were rechristened as –

Master of Business Administration – Human Resource Development and

Master of Business Administration – International Business

1
 VISION

To emerge as a centre of excellence and provide leadership in the field of

commerce and business education and research.

MISSION

To develop knowledge, skills, attitudes and values through dynamic and

interactive methods of learning and grooming students into highly
competent professional managers capable of shaping management
practices in future.
