History

The College of Business at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has advanced the future of business since its founding in 1919. Nebraska Business first opened as a school of commerce in 1913 to meet a growing need for sound business education to prepare people for their careers and leadership. In the years since then, a rich story of growth and innovation unfolded. Our legacy spans more than 37,000 degrees and a strong community of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. Above all, the history of Nebraska Business is simply the story of its people achieving big things together.

AACSB initially accredited Nebraska in business in 1916 and accounting in 1984, and most recently reaccredited in 2021.
