History
In 1875 Oslo Commerce School was established, making it the first school to offer a business education in Norway. In response to societal and industrial developments in Norway during the 1950s and 1960s, the school expanded its business education to college level, and in 1970 Oslo College of Business and Economics ' was established. From 1977 the college offered a three-year program with specialization in accounting and auditing, and as of 1987 the college offered a three-year program with specialization in International Business.'
In 1994, Oslo College of Business and Economics was moved to the newly-formed Oslo University College, and changed its name to Økonomiutdanningen. The name was later changed to Institutt for økonomi og administrasjon. In 2011 HiO merged with Akershus University College and formed Oslo and Akershus University College. In the fall of 2012 the business school launched its first MBA program. In 2015 the school's name was changed yet again, this time to its current name of Handelshøyskolen. In 2018 HiOA became a state university and was renamed Oslo Metropolitan University.Research and development
