Starting in the late 19th century, the need for specialized schools for business and economics became prominent, and after Robert E. Lee established the first business school in the United States, Washington and Lee University’s Williams School of Commerce, Economics, and Politics in 1898. This resulted in many of America’s university to open their own business schools with 143 dedicated business schools opening from 1915 to 1924, including Lehigh’s College of Business Administration in 1918 based out of Coppée hall.
Prior to this, Lehigh had introduced business and economics classes as part of the department of Arts and Sciences in 1893, with the first dedicated classes in economics being offered in 1897, with the first professor of economics being hired by the school, John L. Stewart, in 1898. Stewart is credited with creating the College of Business, establishing its original courses, and teaching most of the classes himself. In 1909 Lehigh offered its first degree in business management and in 1918, University President, Henry Sturgis Drinker, made the decision to split the school into 3 colleges; the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Business Administration. The College’s inaugural class of 1922 numbered just 77.
Through the 1930’s the College of Business Administration stayed consistent, with around 10 professors and 350 students, and in 1938 was accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, with enrollment that year jumping to 465, or 25% of the total student body. In 1952 the College of Business Administration began offering a five-year course in Industrial engineering and business, as well as graduate courses for Master of Business Administration degrees and was expanded to include Master of Science degrees by 1964. In 1957 the College moved from Coppée hall to the purpose-built Drown Hall.
In 2018, U.S. News & World Report ranked Lehigh’s part-time MBA program 20th in the nation.
In 2012, BusinessWeek ranked Lehigh’s College of Business 31st in the nation among undergraduate business programs. In 2012, BusinessWeek ranked Lehigh the seventh-best overall undergraduate finance program in the nation, and ranked its undergraduate accounting program the 21st-best in the nation.
