History

Although Iowa State University had offered courses in business since the 1920s, the College of Business was only established in 1984. In the 1920s, business courses were held under the Department of Economics. After some name changes, the Department of Industrial Administration was created in 1955, and became a part of the College of Humanities and Sciences in 1958. In 1980, the School of Business Administration was formed which was renamed the College of Business Administration in 1984. The college was renamed to the College of Business in 1991.[2]
