The Fowler College of Business Administration (CBA) is one of seven academic colleges at San Diego State University (SDSU), located in San Diego, California, United States. The college offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. On October 26, 2016 the university announced that the college was named the Fowler College of Business Administration in honor of Ron Fowler, co-owner and executive chairman of the San Diego Padres, and his wife Alexis, herself a graduate of the college. The couple had pledged a $25 million endowment to the college - the largest gift in the university's 119-year history.[4]

History

The Fowler College of Business Administration was founded in 1955 by Dr. Charles W. Lamden who served as the college's first dean. The college was first accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 1959 and was one of the first in the state of California to achieve this designation (third public university, sixth overall).[5]

The Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy was established with a $10 million gift from the Lamden family in 2008.
