History

UGBS came into existence by an Executive Instrument (E.I.127) by the Government of Ghana, Accra in January 1960. It was then known as the College of Administration, and was situated on Western the campus of Achimota School with the old Department of Commerce of the Kumasi College of Technology, which became the nucleus of KNUST. The School was renamed the School of Administration in 1962, and eventually, the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) in 2004. [2] [3]

Programs

The University of Ghana Business currently runs undergraduate and postgraduate programs. Before 2004, the school had only four departments. It was after 2004 that the school was departmentalized into six departments and in 2024 seven departments. [4] These departments are Accounting, Finance, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, Organization and Human Resource Management, Operations and Management Information Systems, Public Administration and Health Services Management.
