History

The school’s beginnings can be traced to a Board of Regents decision to allow a degree in Business Administration to be awarded to Augusta College upon the school’s successful transition to a four-year college in 1963. Eight years later, the college was allowed to offer its first MBA, and the School of Business Administration became official, earning a name change to the College of Business Administration in 1996 when Augusta College’s name changed to Augusta State University.

In 2006, James Hull, owner of one of the United States’ largest shopping mall developers, made a donation of $2 million to the University specifically earmarked for the College of Business. In response, school officials renamed the college to its current name to honor the investment, which was the largest in then-Augusta State University’s history.[4]

The Hull College of Business is primarily located in Allgood Hall on the Summerville campus.
