History of the Faculty of Business Administration

History of the Faculty of Business Administration

The Faculty of Business Administration originated from the Faculty of Economics at the Ho Chi Minh City College of Food Industry.

  • March 2010: The Faculty of Economics was split into two separate entities: the Faculty of Business Administration & Tourism and the Faculty of Finance & Accounting.
  • December 1, 2017: Due to the rapid growth of the Business Administration major, a key training pillar of the university, the Faculty of Business Administration was established as an independent faculty.
  • Present Day: The Faculty has quickly become one of the largest specialized units within the university, offering four levels of education: PhD., Master’s, and Bachelor's degrees.

Vision: Moving forward, the Faculty aims to become a premier educational institution for high-quality human resources in Business and Management, meeting the rigorous demands of domestic, regional, and international labor markets.
