Hasan Pirkul: Dean of the Naveen Jindal School of Management

During the last 15 years, Dean Hasan Pirkul has transformed the Naveen Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas at Dallas into one of the nation’s foremost public business schools through his leadership and guidance.

The school’s academic programs are now ranked by BusinessWeek, Financial Times and U.S. News & World Report. Among public business schools, two SOM programs (Professional MBA and Executive MBA) are ranked in the top 10 by BusinessWeek. Dr. Pirkul helped create the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings™, a benchmark of faculty research output in leading peer-reviewed journals.The school has steadily climbed in those rankings, moving from 40th in 2005 to 16th worldwide in 2011. In 2003, Dr. Pirkul oversaw construction of the school’s 204,000-square-foot home, a $38 million facility. Rapid growth in student enrollment, from 2,252 in 1996 to 6,316 in fall 2011 — an increase of 280 percent — facilitated the new building.
