Biographical or Historical Information

The Bureau began in 1962 as the Bureau of Business Research at the Norfolk branch of the College of William and Mary. It is still active today as the Bureau of Research in the College of Business and Public Administration. The Bureau of Business and Economic Research had its hand in many different projects during the 1960s and 1970s here at Old Dominion. Along with the Center for Economic Education and the Institute of Management, the Bureau provided opportunities for faculty and graduate students to interact with business, industry, and government in eastern Virginia. The Bureau was the research arm of the School of Business Administration. It provided faculty and graduate students opportunities to gain experience by working with special research projects and ongoing research programs. The Bureau also served as an administrative and research agency through which the School and the University can relate to the community in the areas of business and economics. Faculty and students work on projects pertaining to business organization, business management, public finance, and economic base studies.
