In 1980, the Iowa State University School of Business Administration was created out of the Department of Industrial Administration. The school changed its name to the College of Business Administration in 1984. That same year, it awarded the first Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA) degrees to 205 fall semester graduates and could boast 2,115 business students. In the following year, 1985, the College of Business Administration admitted the first students to it new Masters in Business Administration (MBA) program. In 1991, the name of the college changed once again to simply, the College of Business. By 1994, when the College celebrated its tenth anniversary, it included nearly 3,000 students and fifty-eight faculty members, and just five years later in 1999, the College of Business included 1,548 pre-business majors, 1,871 business majors, 65 tenure-track faculty, 14 adjunct faculty, and over 18,000 alumni. This ranked it third among Iowa State University's colleges in the combined total number of undergraduate and graduate students. The College of Business can trace its growth to continuing partnerships with private business, strong scholarship programs, and efforts to keep up with the latest technologies and business methods.

The Iowa State University College of Business offers undergraduate programs in a variety of fields, including accounting, entrepreneurial studies, finance, international business, management, management information systems, marketing, productions/operations management, and transportation logistics. For graduate students, the College of Business offers programs leading toward an MBA, a Master of Accounting (MACC), a Master of Science in Information Systems (MS-IS), a Master of Science in Information Assurance (MS-INFS), and a Master of Science in Industrial Relations (MS-IR).
