History
Daymar College opened its doors as Owensboro Business College in 1963, with a focus on general business studies. In 2001, Owensboro Junior College of Business changed its name to Daymar College. The name change accompanied the opening of additional locations outside of Owensboro. The Louisville South campus was then opened to students in October 2001, followed by the opening of the Louisville East campus in 2009.
In 1970, Daymar College obtained national accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of the Association of Independent Colleges and Schools, and is supported by accreditations from the state level.
In June 1999, Daymar College outgrew its old building and moved into a free-standing, one-story structure built for the growth of Daymar College students. Located on 6.4 acres (26,000 m2) of land at 3361 Buckland Square in the Heritage Park Development of Owensboro, Kentucky, the facility comprises 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) of space.
By 2000, Daymar College was chosen as a Microsoft Authorized Academic Training Program (AATP) member, and became a Prometric Testing Center and a Microsoft Office Specialist test site.
