City College School of Business and Civic Administration,
c.1945
After several years of offering selected business classes, CCNY established
the School of Business and Civic Administration in 1919. In its first year,
2,833 students attended classes in the partly renovated Free Academy building
on 23rd Street. The new school offered undergraduate and graduate degrees in
business. Many students attended evening classes, working part-time toward a
degree in accounting. Classes in secretarial skills were also offered.
