History

Prior to the development of the Edwardsville campus the school was established as one of six "Divisions of Academic Programs" for the Residential Centers in Alton and East St. Louis. [2] Once the move was made to the new campus in 1965, these "Divisions" became the Schools of Business, Education, Fine Arts, Humanities, Science and Technology, and Social Sciences.

The School of Business consists of the Departments of Accounting, Computer Management & Information Systems, Economics & Finance, and Management & Marketing. Together they offer thirteen majors and specializations at the undergraduate level and seven at the graduate level. The school also hosts the Army and Air Force Reserve Officers Training Programs. With few exceptions, classes for the school are held in Alumni Hall and Founders Hall. [3]

The goal of the Center is to provide in-depth assistance and accelerated services to entrepreneurs as well as to promotes an entrepreneurial culture throughout the region. The Center works with entrepreneurs and small businesses from start-up phase through the transition/exit phase.
