Romeo Horton College of Business and Public Administration, formerly the College of Business and Public Administration, was established in 1970 and became the fifth of the University of Liberia’s five undergraduate degree-granting colleges. Since its establishment, the college awards degrees in the following disciplines: Accounting, Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Economics, Bachelor of Science (BSc), Management, Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), and Public Administration, Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA).
Consistent with its overall objective of granting degrees in the above disciplines, the College’s primary objective is to provide training to meet the manpower needs of Liberian society and foster national development.

The mission and vision of the college are aligned with those of the University of Liberia. One of the world’s oldest colleges, the college’s vision is to transform the way that the world is understood, how knowledge is created, and how problems are approached and solved, including emerging problems. It also provides academic excellence, research, and teaching, ardently cherished and promoted, with an uncompromising devotion to a high premium placed on academic freedom and creative thinking.
