About
In 1964, the Colorado Commission of Higher Education approved the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree as the degree for all students majoring in the business program, and the major in business management was added to the accounting and economics majors. The Masters of Business Administration degree program was first offered in 1984.
In 1995, Dr. and Mrs. Malik Hasan donated $2 million to the School, with $1.25 million as an operating endowment. The remainder was reserved for furnishings and fixtures in the new School of Business building funded by the state. The Malik and Seeme Hasan School of Business building was completed in 1998.
In 2004, the Hasan School of Business earned the highest level of accreditation a School of Business can earn with approval and acceptance by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Only 5% of business schools worldwide hold AACSB accreditation. The Hasan School reports annually and is reviewed comprehensively every five years for maintenance of accreditation. Our latest successful reaffirmation of AACSB accreditation occurred in 2019 and is good through 2024.
