      The university began in 1913 as the Georgia Institute of Technology Evening School of Commerce.

The school's affiliation was changed in 1947, and it became the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia (Georgia, University of). It became the Georgia State College of Business Administration, a separate public institution, in 1955. The school's expanding curriculum belied this narrow definition, however, and in 1961 the name was changed to Georgia State College; university standing was achieved in 1969, and the College of Law opened in 1982.
