Instruction in business at Texas Southern University be- gan with the establishment of the University by Act of the State Legislature. March 3, 1947. The program Administra- tion within the College of Arts and Sciences. The City of Houston provided an ideal setting for the study of business, and the accelerating economic growth of the area helped to stimulate the steady growth in en- rollment within the department. Because of the increasing enrollment, and in recognition of the obligation of the University to serve more effectively the needs of the com- munity, the program was expanded and the department was elevated to division status. Sustained growth of the Division of Business was marked by the continued accleration in enrollment, expansion and diversification of programs, and greatly improve quality of both students and faculty. For the academic year 1954-55, the number of students pursing degrees in the division was approximately 400. or 20 percent of the enrollment of the College of Arts and Sciences. The University soon recognized that the community ' s re- sponse to its thrust in education for business required a separate faculty with its own dean. This decision resulted in the establishment of the School of Business in 1955. The School of Business is housed in an ultra-modern building, which was completed and occupied in the spring of 1968. Among the facilities for carrying on instructions are a large amphitheater, two case-discussion rooms, and large and well-equipped type-writing and business ma- chines laboratories. An attractive and comfortable lounge is provided for student relaxation and study. The primary goal of the school is to provide the profes- sional education essential to those who aspire to positions of responsibility in business, government, education and community service. Such professional education equips the graduates with a broad background of general knowledge and specific skills, an understanding of the social and eco- nomic foundations of an industrial society, skill in the use of decision-making tools, and a well defined conception of the social responsibilities of persons in business. The re- quired courses have been based on these fundamental needs. These courses emphasize the quantitative and be- havioral factors in management: the social, economic and physical environments both domestic and international; and the adoption and functioning of a proper code of business ethics. Special courses provide training in the identification, analysis and solution of practical problems. Desirable personality traits, which for true business leader- ship are stressed and developed through teaching methods and co-curricular activities. Recognizing the demands that leadership makes upon the managers verbal facility, special emphasis is given to the development of the communication skills, both spoken and written. School of Business
