Biographical / Historical
The College of Business began in 1948 under the name Division of Business Education.
Originally, the college was established to train those who wanted to teach, and very few
of the early enrollees went on to gain a career in business. This degree was in Business
Education, and the first people graduated with this degree in 1949. This has since
changed, where many of the students that graduated from the college pursue careers in
business and less go into the field of teaching. The name changed once again in 1958 to
the Division of Business and again in 1965 to the school of Business. In 1993, the school
was now called the College of Business, and this name remains today. The College of
Business has the largest enrollment of any college on campus with over two thousand
undergraduate students. Over the years the College of Business has offered different
course offerings which are now a part of different Colleges. Currently, the College offers
Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing and International Business for majors and
Accounting, Business Administration, Business Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation,
Financial Planning, Human Resource Management, Marketing, and International
Business as minors. In addition, there is a strong Master of Business Administration and
Master of Accounting programs at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
