Biographical / Historical

The College of Business Administration (CBA) is one of nine colleges at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. It originally started in 1958 as a department in the Division of Arts and Sciences.

In 1968, the School of Business Administration was established and Louis Kaufman was named as the first dean. The school began with three departments: Accounting, Business Management, and Marketing. Two more were added by 1970: Data Processing and Finance Insurance and Real Estate.

In 1974, the School of Business Administration was named as one of the two west coast locations of the University Business Development Centers, which helped establish cooperation between the Small Business Administration and small businesses.

In 1987, Cal Poly Pomona received authorization to change the name of its schools to colleges and the School of Business Administration became the College of Businses Administration for the 1988-1989 academic year. As of March 2019, the college has seven undergraduate programs: Accounting; Computer Information Systems; E-Business, Finance, Real Estate and Law; International Business and Marketing; Management and Human Resources; and Technology and Operations Management.

Scope and Contents
