Organizational Sketch

The organization of academic departments into colleges began with the 1976-1977 academic year. Formerly organized into divisions (Business, Business Education), the College of Business (COB) was established on July 1, 1976. The COB was retitled the College of Business and Public Administration in March 1983, and changed to the College of Business Administration in Fall 1988. The College gained its current formal title as the Donald L .Harrison College of Business in 1993. Throughout its history, various departments and courses have come and gone, such as the Department of Computer Science which was once housed in the college. Currently, the college is organized into the Department of Accounting, the Department of Economics and Finance, and the Department of Management and Marketing. The college currently holds accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB International) and the Network of International Business Schools (NIBS). The college offers both undergraduate and graduate programs. The college also houses an Academic Advising Center and the International Business Center. 

Scope and Content Note

Publications of the COB and its departments intended for general distribution, including academic guides, event information, brochures, newsletters, and reports. Over the years, departments have changed names, merged or even changed colleges. Whenever possible, the most current departmental organization is used here. This is sometimes impossible since areas of study, which are presently in different departments, were not so in the past and vice versa. Documents concerning the college are arranged first, followed by its departments and programs arranged alphabetically.
