College of Business, Bachelor of Technology, 1972

This image shows William Summers and Robert Conley, two students admitted into the new Bachelor of Technology program in the College of Business at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in March 1972. The program was designed to allow graduates of two-year community college and technical institute programs to reenter schools as teachers. The College of Business was established in 1970-71 with four departments, including accounting, business administration, business, economic and occupational education, and economics. It occupied Smith-Wright Hall, built 1940, from 1970 to 1976, when John A. Walker Hall, built 1975, was opened. A similar image appears in the April 7, 1972 edition of "The Appalachian" (p. 3).
