The University of Iowa was founded on February 25, 1847, 59 days after Iowa became a state. The original campus was composed of Old Capitol and the 10 acres of land on which it stood.
1858
1890
Business education begins with one course at the university. The subject of political economy, an early form of macroeconomics, is taught as part of the moral philosophy course in the history department.
The bachelor’s degree program in commerce gains popularity among students. The curriculum is modeled after the Wharton School.
1866 The university advertises that practical skills gave students “a very great advantage” in beginning careers in business. The university officially encourages students to take vocational training at the Iowa City Business College and gives them scheduling flexibility to attend classes at both institutions.
1889 Isaac Althaus Loos, the first real proponent of a business program at Iowa, is hired to shape an emerging social sciences department. Loos develops political science, commerce, economics, finance, and sociology into an interdisciplinary program.
1900 President George E. MacLean vows to make the University of Iowa the research-oriented “crown of the public school system.” MacLean names Loos director of the School of Political and Social Science. The school includes political science, history, political economy, sociology, finance, and commerce.
