In 1955, the Board of Regents made it an autonomous four-year college under the name Georgia State College of Business Administration.

GSU has so far turned out approximately 175,000 graduates. Notable alumni from the financial world are Ken Lewis, former President and CEO of Bank of America; and Richard Lenny, former CEO of Hershey Foods; among others. Due to its size and influence, GSU has an economic impact on the Atlanta economy of more than $1.4 billion annually.
