About
The Howard University School
of Business:
The
Howard University School of
Business, as it is known today,
was founded 40 years ago.
The School of Business began
however as an institution
of learning that trained students
in the field of business in
1870, when the Board of Trustees
of Howard University approved
the establishment of a school
of Commerce in conjunction
with the Freedman's Saving
Bank and Trust Company. The
school and Bank ventures were
discontinued only four years
later but the seeds that were
sown endured and led to the
reopening of the school in
1903. At reopening, the school
initially offered a Bachelors
of Science Degree that would
be reclassified, a year later,
as a secondary-level training
program for the next thirteen
years.
Forty
three years after the school
reopened, in 1946, the Marketing,
Accounting, and Real Estate
and Insurance programs were
added to the school’s
educational curriculum. In
1970, the present-day School
of Business was founded, with
Dr. Milton Wilson as Dean.
Over the years that followed,
the School of Business’
prominence within Howard University
grew, as the school became
the second largest among schools
and colleges within the University
in terms of enrollment, and
firmly established its reputation
for excellence in both the
academic and business communities.
