In 1969 海角直播鈥檚 Business Program was known as the 鈥淒ivision of Business Economics. Within this department, the programs offered were Business Administration, Business Education, and Economics. This led to students receiving a Bachelor of Science degree. Also, if completed, students were able to qualify for the Class B Secondary Professional certificate, of Business Education. Dr. Yang H. Kim, the Acting Chairman during this time period, tied Business, Economics, and Education into one program.
In the Fall of 1975, Dr. Percy J. Vaughn was named as the dean of the Division. From this point on, the Division of Business Economics was now known as the College of Business Administration or for short, 鈥淐OBA鈥�. The programs that led to students receiving a Bachelor of Science degree were departments such as Accounting and Finance, Computer Information Systems, Economics, and Management & Marketing. Within the period of time, a minor was not at hand, but a double major was. On the other hand, an Associate of Science degree in Business Administration was attainable, but only to a number of students, under honorable advisement, as well as only needing to obtain a two-year degree.
