History

Instruction in business was first offered at OSU in 1898, and the first degree in business was awarded in 1904. Four years later, the university created the school of commerce, naming John Andrew Bexell as dean. Over the period Bexell headed the school, the name changed three times. It was briefly known as the Division of Business and Industry, then the School of Business and Technology, and finally the School of Business. Oregon State stood as the only public university in the state to offer a degree in business through 1914. In 1922 the school moved into the new Commerce Hall, which was renamed Bexell Hall in 1966. In 1983 the program was renamed the OSU College of Business.

For several deans, changes in leadership were infrequent. Bexell was on the job for 23 years, following a 10-year hiatus in business degree curriculum during the Great Depression. Clifford E. Maser then took over and served for 24 years with one year on hiatus in 1963, followed by Earl Goddard, who held the post for 15 years.[ citation needed ] Currently, Tim Carroll serves as the college's 12th dean.
