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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
