.5 l.f.
HISTORY
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 Adminsitration.
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.
