History
The College of Business first offered economics courses since Washington State University started operating in 1892. The Department of Economic Science and History was created in 1917 as part of the College of Sciences and Arts, and in 1926, it became the Department of Business Administration. The department started offering programs in Secretarial Science, apart from the normal offering of economics courses, which is at that time composed of only five faculty members.
In 1928, the Department of Business Administration was elevated to a school status and the faculty increased into fifteen. Yet, it is still incorporated with the College of Sciences and Arts, until, in 1940, it granted an independent status. In 1948, the Economics department from the College of Sciences and Arts and the School of Business Administration were merged, becoming the School of Economics and Business with the help of Dr. M. W. Lee.
In 1963, the school was granted a college status, and becomes the College of Business and Economics. The first functioning dean was Dr. Eugene Clark. The college first offered business courses with the establishment of three branch campuses of Washington State University in Tri-Cities, Spokane and Vancouver in 1989. The School of Economics Sciences is now part of College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences which offers courses in economics in 2005.
In 2006, the Washington State University Regents voted to change the name of the college into College of Business.
