Sam Houston State University (SH College of Business Administration)

The College of Business Administration is rooted in traditions of service to both students and the business community. Established in 1879 as a training institute for teachers, the Sam Houston Normal Institute first offered what were called commercial courses in 1918. As commerce grew within the state, the need for business training increased and a formal program in business administration began to develop. In 1923 the Sam Houston Normal Institute became Sam Houston State Teachers College and in 1935 was authorized to grant its first Bachelor of Business degree.

In 1936 academic divisions were organized at Sam Houston State Teachers College and by 1937 the Master of Education degree with a minor in business administration was offered. The Master of Arts degree in business was authorized in 1943 and the College awarded its first Master of Business Administration degree in 1964.

In 1965 Sam Houston State Teachers College was re-named Sam Houston State College and, in 1966, the academic divisions were grouped into five schools. Dr. Jean D. Neal became the first dean of the School of Business Administration and Applied Arts. A new building, originally named the Business Administration Building, was constructed in 1968 to meet the needs of the growing school.
