History

In the fall of 1949, the College of Business Administration opened its doors to a small group of business students in the historic Hawaii Hall building on the Manoa campus of the University of Hawaii. The curriculum at that time was limited to accounting, economics and industrial relations. But, more importantly, it provided a solid foundation for future leaders to build upon.

The post war period of the late '40s and early '50s quickly brought about change to the Islands. It was a time of enormous social and economic growth. The creation of the College simply reflected the prevailing attitudes of University, government and business leaders to develop a curriculum to address changing business attitudes and practices in the United States.

As Hawaii's economy grew, so did the College and its curriculum. In the early ‘60s, top business professors were recruited to help strengthen the existing program. Additional changes included strengthening the business college in the area of liberal arts, requiring each student to minor in economics, and offering a general business program in fields such as management, finance, personnel and statistics.

In 1967, the College received a national accreditation from American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) on its first try, thereby classifying it among other top business colleges nationwide.

With 1,300 students enrolled in the mid-'60s, it became clear that the College was outgrowing its existing space at Hawaii Hall. In 1969, through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the construction of a new building for the College began.

In the fall of '71, the College moved into its new facility. In the next few years, the College continued to grow at an alarming rate almost doubling its size by the late '70s.

In the mid '70s to the early '90s, the College matured and gained worldwide recognition for its international business focus. Faculty members with expertise in Asian business were heavily recruited; foreign and U.S. mainland students with an interest in international studies were applying in greater numbers and exchange opportunities with international universities were created.
