History

This Business Education Programme originated from the change in the Corporate Economics Department in 1983 which was divided into 2 Programmes, namely the Administration Education Programme and the Bookkeeping Education Programme. The Bookkeeping Education Programme has changed its name back to the Accounting Education Programme. Meanwhile, the Business Administration Education Programme in 2008 changed its name to the Business Management Education Programme. Along with scientific developments, demands from the business and / or industry and the nomenclature list of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the Business Management Education Programme proposes adjusting the name of the program as a new nomenclature, namely Business Education by attaching curriculum documents, learning outcomes and references to scientific development abroad. The proposal for the name of the Business Education Programme was accepted by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education with the issuance of the Minister of Research and Technology Decree No. 257 / M / KPT / 2017, listed in the copy of attachment 1 with No. E 32 belongs to the education clump. Furthermore, in 2018 based on UPI Chancellor’s Regulation Number: 7011 / UN40 / HK / 2018 concerning Changes in the Name of Departments and Programmes in the Indonesian Education University, the change in name / nomenclature of the Business Education Programme was strengthened as well as its operational permit.
