Biographical / Historical
Course offerings in business administration and related subjects date back to the early years of the University of Maine with a course in bookkeeping and later a Business Administration major in 1937. However, it was not until 1958 that a School of Business Administration was established in the College of Arts and Sciences with curricula leading to the B.S. degree in Business Administration with major programs in Marketing, Finance, Accounting, and Industrial Management.
In 1965, the School of Business Administration became the College of Business Administration. The College of Business Administration provided a four year course in business administration with majors in accounting, finance, management or marketing. The College also provided a graduate program in business administration.
By the 1997-1998 academic year the College combined with other departments and became the College of Business, Public Policy and Health which itself would be disbanded for the 2015-2016 academic year with Maine Business School taking over much of the functions.
In 1958, Professor Robert Paul Shay became the first director of the School of Business Administration. In 1960, Shay was succeeded by Henry Austin Peck who in 1963 was succeeded by Stanley Devino. In 1965 Devino became the first dean of the College of Business Administration, a position he would hold until his retirement in 1996.
