The school began as the Department of Commerce, offering business courses and curriculum to students interested in a business career. As the department expanded, Emil John Hilkert was tapped to serve as dean for six months, although Glenn D. Overman was accountable for establishing most of the College of Business programs and is generally recognized as the founding dean.

Endowed in 2003 by William Polk Carey with a $50 million pledge from the W. P. Carey Foundation, the school was renamed, "W. P. Carey School of Business", and has quickly become an internationally recognized business school for its top-notch faculty, research, services marketing, and supply chain management programs. At the time, the $50 million pledge was the second-largest single donation to any U.S. business school, according to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

On October 29, 2011, the school commemorated the groundbreaking of McCord Hall, named for Arizona philanthropist Sharon Dupont McCord and the late Bob McCord. Opened in the fall of 2013, McCord Hall is a 129,000 square foot facility, featuring more classrooms for graduate programs and undergraduate honors students, technologically advanced team rooms, a new career center, outdoor assembly areas, and the latest in environmental innovation.

In October 2015, the school announced that the students accepted into the Fall 2016 Full Time MBA program will received free tuition.
