Overview
The Strome College of Business at Old Dominion University traces its roots to the founding of the university's business programs in the mid-20th century, growing alongside ODU's development into a major research institution. The college was renamed in 2016 following a significant gift from alumnus Mark Strome, and it has since built a strong reputation in the Hampton Roads region for producing business-ready graduates, particularly in fields tied to the area's maritime, port, and military-adjacent economy. It is known for its AACSB-accredited programs, applied research, and strong regional employer partnerships.
