History

Biola University’s Business Department boasts an impressive history. Established in 1968, the program prepared students for a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. It continued to grow through the years. In 1993, the School of Business was established as the fifth school in the University. It again expanded with the 2001 addition of its Master of Business Administration degree program. It didn’t stop there.

In the next few years, the School of Business made Biola history by gaining a new name—and building. In 2005, it officially became the Crowell School of Business, named after the Crowell family, of Crowell, Weedon & Co., long-time supporters of the university and relatives of Lyman Stewart. In 2007, the new building made its debut at Biola. Through the generosity of the Crowell family and other donors, the 32,000 square-foot building was equipped with tiered classrooms and the latest technology, helping to enrich the educational experience.

Today, Crowell School of Business boasts an enrollment of approximately 400 students, earning it the title as the largest undergraduate major at Biola. It continues to maintain excellence academically and growing in spiritual transformation, equipping students to view business as ministry, encouraging them to pursue excellence in leadership, strength in mind and character, and maturity in faith so they may impact the business world for the Lord Jesus Christ.
