Biographical / Historical

Bookkeeping is the first business related course found in the June 1891 Prospectus for the North Dakota Agricultural College. It isn’t until the 1902-1903 Annual Catalog that “Business Subjects” are listed: Bookkeeping, Farm Accounts, Commercial Law, and Shorthand. By 1905, Commercial Arithmetic, Shorthand II, and Typewriting had been added to “Business Subject.” In 1920 the Department of Commerce came into being and consisted of the following courses: Bookkeeping and Business Methods, Bookkeeping and Accounting, Elevator Accounting, Stenography, and Typewriting. As of 1939, business related courses fell under the Department of Economics and Sociology. As of the 1947-48 catalog, business courses wee lumped with economics courses in the Department of Social Science. Course offerings were: Advertising, Accounting, Consumer Economics, Principles of Business Administration, Principles of Cooperation, Labor Problems, Personnel Administration, Money and Banking, Business Finance, Business Law, Salesmanship and Sales Management, Foreign Trade, Cost Accounting, Advanced Accounting Principles, Public Finance, Advanced Economics, and Social-Economic Systems. In 1975, the Department of Economics changed its name to the Department of Business Administration and Economics. In July of 1985, the Department, which had been administrated under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, was moved to the College of University Studies. In June of 1987, the State Board of Higher Education created the College of Business Administration. On April 6, 2006, the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education approved the name change from the College of Business Administration to the College of Business.
