Wilson Business Administration In 1889, when Weber State was founded as an academy, business and commercial courses were offered on a high school level. Weber State College was transferred to the state in 1933, and organized as a junior college. More courses were added and have been offered in increasing numbers since that time. A new building was added in 1954, which has allowed the division to expand. The increasing enrollment and the addition of teachers is beginning to squeeze the division and as a result, classes are held in the afternoon in other buildings to accommodate the increase. Within the Business Division there are four departments: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Secretarial Training. Through the Business Division the student gains an ability to enter the adult world fully prepared to meet its problems. The student learns organization and tact in communicating with society, and a knowledge of a way to make a living and to contribute successfully to the society. The Business Division creates leaders in business communtiy and society.
