<div>Our degree program here at Georgia State University began in 1969, so MSU has us beat. But if the question is business-school-based courses in computing, the title goes to ULCA which offered a course in business statistics using the SWAC (octal) computer
in 1953, taught by Prof. Clay Sprowls. Eph McLean</div>

At this time, the earliest known computer-related degree program in a college of business began in 1963 at Mississippi State University.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have information on an earlier one?<br>
<br>
It has to be in a college of business and have a computer-based name.<br>
<br>
I will report any earlier one that I can verify to the group.<br>
