Name Changes on Campus

New name for college of business more accurately reflects its role at MSU

Murray State University’s college of business and public affairs is now the college of business. Approved by the MSU board of regents at its last meeting, the change was made to reflect the units in the college.

Currently, the college houses six departments that deal with business: accounting; computer science and information systems; economics and finance; journalism and mass communications; management, marketing and business administration; and organizational communication.

Names should be a description of what they identify. The College of Business and Public Affairs did just that. The quote above, from here, is incorrect. The college houses 6 departments, 3 deal with business, and 3 deal with public affairs.
