It offers programs in [[accountancy]], [[business administration]], and [[finance]]. The [[undergraduate]] and [[Graduate school|graduate]] accounting programs are regularly ranked as the best in the country by ''[[U.S. News & World Report]]''<ref>[http://www.business.illinois.edu/accountancy/about/rankings.html Department of Accountancy Rankings]</ref>. The accounting programs also consistently rank within the top five of the ''[[Public Accounting Report]]''. The Chronicle of Higher Education ranked the Department of Finance third in faculty scholarly research productivity. ==College History== The University Senate approved the College of Commerce and Business Administration on [[June 9]], [[1914]] at the request of [[David Kinley]], a University Vice-President who would later serve as President of the University of Illinois.<ref name="Economics History">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = Department of Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: History | url=http://www.economics.uiuc.edu/department/index.htm | accessdate = 2008-05-19}}</ref> The College was officially formed on [[April 27]], [[1915]] through a vote of the University of Illinois (UI) [[Trustee|Board of Trustees]] ''(see [[governance in higher education]])''. The college began with three departments: [[Economics]], Business Organization and Operation, and [[Transportation]].<ref name="Business Archive">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = UIUC Library Archives: Business | url=http://web.library.uiuc.edu/ahx/uaccard/adminhist/showrg.asp?rg=9 | accessdate = 2006-09-05}}</ref> The college underwent a major reorganization which began in 1951. At the time, several [[Faculty (university)|faculty]] from economics wanted their department housed in the [[UIUC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences|College of Liberal Arts and Sciences]] (LAS). The proposal failed and the department stayed within the college until 2003 at which time it found a home in the College of LAS. In the same year, the college changed its name to the College of Business. In 1913, prior to the College's formation, representatives of the University met in [[Madison, Wisconsin]] along with representatives from the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison]] and the [[University of California, Berkeley]] to establish the [[Beta Gamma Sigma]] [[honor society]].<ref name="BGS History">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = History of Beta Gamma Sigma | url=http://www.betagammasigma.org/history.htm | accessdate = 2008-05-22}}</ref> The College has continued its involvement with the honor society and [[H.

This is the current home of the College of Business. When the College was first formed, however, it occupied the Commerce Building, now the East half of the Administration Building on the [[UIUC_campus#Main_Quad|Main Quad]].<ref name="Economics History">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = Department of Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: History | url=http://www.economics.uiuc.edu/department/index.htm | accessdate = 2008-06-13}}</ref> The Commerce building, dedicated in 1913, was built at a cost of $100 thousand. The College currently occupies three buildings: David Kinley Hall, Wohlers Hall, and The Survey Building. This area is known as the Business Quad and is considered part of the South Campus. Wohlers Hall, formerly known as Commerce West was built in 1963.<ref name="Wohlers 1">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = Wohlers’ Generosity to Fund Reconstruction of Commerce West | url=http://www.business.uiuc.edu/development/archive/wohlers.pdf | accessdate = 2008-06-13}}</ref> A naming gift of $6 million was provided by Albert H. and Jane Wohlers in 2000 for renovations.<ref name="Wohlers 2">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = Wohlers Hall to be dedicated Sept. 21 | url=http://www.news.uiuc.edu/news/00/0918wohlers.html | accessdate = 2008-06-13}}</ref> The [[September 21]] dedication highlighted technology enabled classrooms, a dean's suite, a laboratory research suite, and a lecture hall.

Wacker Drive. The location puts the campus within the heart of the [[Chicago Loop]]. The center is across the street from the [[Sears Tower]] and across the [[Chicago River]] from [[Union Station (Chicago)|Union Station]]. The faculty of the campus administer the college's Executive MBA and [[M.S.]] of [[Tax]]ation programs. The campus is not to be confused with the business school at the [[University of Illinois at Chicago]]. The two schools remain separate, distinctive entities. ==Departments== The College of Business houses three departments: accountancy, business administration, and finance. The three departments are quite independent in their administrative process. ===Accountancy=== [[Image:Wohlers Hall.jpg|thumb|Wohlers Hall during the Spring of 2004. As of 2008, Wohlers currently houses all three departments.]] The Department of Accountancy was founded in 1953.<ref name="Trustee Archives">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = University of Illinois Board of Trustee Archives | url=http://www.uillinois.edu/trustees/search/index.cfm | accessdate = 2008-04-14}}</ref> It offers [[Bachelor of Science|B.S.]], [[MAcc|M.A.S.]], M.S.

Zimmerman Center==== The Vernon K. Zimmerman Center was originally formed in 1962 as the Center for International Education and Research in Accounting (CIERA). The Center promotes the understanding of international accounting topics, coordinates an annual conference, and publishes the ''[[International Journal of Accounting]]''. The Center was renamed on [[September 20]], [[2002]] after Professor [[Vernon K. Zimmerman]], an advocate for the Center's formation. Professor Zimmerman later became the Center's director in 1965, and the dean of the college in 1971. ====KPMG/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Business Measurement Research Program==== On [[January 30]], [[2002]], the Department of Accountancy partnered with [[Big Four auditors|Big Four]] accounting firm [[KPMG]] to create the KPMG/UIUC Business Measurement Research Program.<ref name="KPMG-UIUC Page">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = KPMG-UIUC Research Program Homepage | url=http://www.business.uiuc.edu/kpmg-uiuc/ | accessdate = 2008-04-14}}</ref> KPMG partially funded the program with a $2.8 million pledge. The initiative explores measurement, reporting and assurance as they pertain to today's accounting environment. The program was the driving force behind two [[monograph]]s, ''[[Auditing Organizations through a Strategic Systems Lens]]'' and ''[[The 21st Century Public Company Audit]]'', and several strategic systems auditing cases. ===Business Administration=== The Department of Business Administration was founded in 1968 through the mergers of the Department of Industrial Administration and Marketing and the Graduate School of Business Administration.<ref name="Trustee Archives">{{cite web | last = | first = | title = University of Illinois Board of Trustee Archives | url=http://www.uillinois.edu/trustees/search/index.cfm | accessdate = 2008-04-11}}</ref> The Department awards B.S., M.S. in [[Technology Management]] (M.S.
