History

Instruction in business was first offered at OSU in 1898, and a degree in business was first 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.

In 1922 the school moved into the new Commerce Hall, which was renamed Bexell Hall in 1966. It was briefly known as the Division of Business and Industry, then the School of Business and Technology, and finally the School of Business. In 1983 the program was renamed the OSU College of Business.

Changes in leadership at the college have been 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, followed by Earl Goddard, who held the post for 16 years.[ citation needed ] In July 2015, Mitzi Montoya was named as the college's 10th dean, replacing the retiring Ilene Kleinsorge.
