Welcome

The A.J. Palumbo School of Business Administration was established in 1913 as the School of Accounts and Finance. In 1931, the name was changed to the School of Business Administration to reflect the expansion of its course offerings and its growing professional stature in the education community.

By 1961, the School had earned accreditation by the premier business school accrediting agency, AACSB, joining the less than 30 percent of business schools nationwide who have achieved this distinction. During the next several decades, new degree programs were added to enhance the scope of the curriculum and help prepare students for careers in all types of organizations.

Following a generous endowment in October of 1991 by Antonio J. Palumbo, an accomplished business professional, the School adopted its current name, the A.J. Palumbo School of Business Administration.

Accredited by AACSB International since 1962.
