History
The School was established in 1919 as the Faculty of Commerce offering Accounting and Corporate Governance education as a three-year Certificate and the Bachelor of Commerce, a four-year degree equivalent to an honours degree. Economic Geography and Economic History was later introduced as first-year year-long subjects. In 1949 the Bachelor of Economics was introduced alongside the Bachelor of Commerce, and Econometrics introduced as a third-year full year subject. In 1997 the Faculty of Commerce creates three schools: Economics, Accounting and Finance and Management and in the early 2000 a finance major was introduced to the BBus and BEc degrees. In 2013 the three schools merged within the Faculty of Business to become the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics.
