An upper-division business school based in Oakland County, Michigan that offers bachelor's and master's degrees focusing solely on business education.
History Highlights
1922 On July 7, Mervyn B. Walsh purchases a franchise from Pace & Pace in New York City to offer the Pace Accounting Method exclusively in Detroit. On September 14, the first lecture, Preparation for Executive Responsibilities, is given on the sixth floor of the Capitol Theatre Building at 120 Madison Ave. in downtown Detroit. On September 18, 23 students begin the first Walsh Institute classes, paying $60 tuition for a 17-week semester. Tuition includes 40 accounting and applied economics and 46 business law pamphlets based on practical methods gained from the experiences of CPA Homer St. Clair Pace and his brother, attorney Charles Ashford Pace. 1925Michigan extends regulation of public accounting beyond passing the CPA exam to include meeting practical experience and education requirements. Demand for proper accounting training grows as accounting attains the same professional status as law and medicine. 1928Enrollment reaches 286 students. Seven graduates organize the Walsh Institute Alumni Association. 1930Grace Dimmer, Walsh Institute Class of ?27, becomes Michigan?s first woman to earn the CPA designation. People realize that an education can help them survive the Depression. With financial assistance available to students, the Institute weathers the economic storm. 1941 Walsh Institute enrollment drops after the U.S. enters World War II and there are no deferments for college students. By late 1944, enrollment falls by almost 50 percent to 383 students, and Mervyn Walsh organizes the first all-female class to meet the wartime need for accountants. 1947Walsh Institute marks its 25th anniversary. Thanks to the G.I. Bill, enrollment reaches 1,508 at ?120 Madison?, as students call the Institute, and classrooms cover the entire fifth and sixth floors of the building. (Today, the completely renovated building is the Detroit Opera House.) 1960 When the contract for teaching the Pace Accounting Method expires, Walsh Institute examines additional business administration curricula, changes admissions standards, develops a new examination system, and explores options of becoming a junior-level or four-year college. 1965 On June 30, Mervyn B. Walsh retires as Walsh Institute president. William C. Stewart, a CPA and college administrator, succeeds him. Walsh trustees determine that Walsh Institute will need to change its educational charter with the state by having its own building, offering an accounting curriculum approved by the State Board of Accountancy, and receiving State Board of Education approval. 1968 On December 31, Walsh Institute of Accountancy changes its charter to become Walsh College of Accountancy and Business Administration. Walsh will be an upper-division college offering coursework for juniors and seniors who finish two years at a community college. The College purchases 20 acres of farmland from Morris Wattles for a new campus in Troy, near the community colleges from which it hopes to attract students. 1969 Ground is broken for a new 10,000-square-foot Troy campus building. 1970 The Troy campus opens for classes on September 10. When the State of Michigan authorizes Walsh College to grant degrees, 151 of the 303 enrolled students pursue bachelor?s degrees. Jeffery W. Barry succeeds William Stewart as the third president of Walsh College. 1972 Walsh College celebrates its 50th anniversary with an alumni dinner dance. The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) grants Walsh correspondence status to signify that the College is adding and evaluating the effectiveness of new courses and degrees. The College offers a Bachelor of Accountancy degree for the first time. 1973 A Bachelor of Business Administration degree is added, and enrollment climbs steadily as Walsh academic programs gain high acceptance among community colleges. In 1971-72, annual growth is at 30 percent, and in 1973, the Admissions Office anticipates another 30 to 40 percent in enrollment growth. The Board of Trustees votes to enlarge the Troy campus by 7,400 square feet. 1974 The addition to the south side of the Troy campus is complete, tripling the size of the library, adding two lecture halls, a small bookstore, and a student lounge. Walsh offers its first graduate degree: a Master of Science in Taxation, with a financial and accounting, rather than legal, curriculum. Nearly 200 students sign up for the 84 openings. 1975 Mervyn B. Walsh, founder and president of Walsh Institute, is awarded the College?s first honorary doctorate at the first Commencement ceremony held at the Troy campus. The NCA accredits Walsh College degree programs. Enrollment surpasses 1,000 students. 1978 A Port Huron campus opens near St. Clair County Community College, and the Troy campus is expanded by 8,400 square feet with a new student lounge and business office.
Walsh offers a second graduate degree: the Master of Science in Professional Accountancy (changed in 2003 to the Master of Science in Accountancy), and establishes a professional education department. The NCA extends Walsh?s accreditation for 10 years, the maximum allowable time span.
1989A Master of Science degree in Management is offered for the first time as area businesses begin to require graduate education in Management for advancement. Enrollment reaches 3,300 students. A capital campaign is launched to increase the scholarship program and the size of the facility. 1990A final $4.2-million addition to the Troy campus is completed, adding 33,000 square feet and renovating 9,000 square feet. A cafeteria is added, as well as a new bookstore, computer lab, library, and faculty and administrative space. 1991President Jeffery W. Barry retires and David A. Spencer becomes Walsh College?s fourth president. Walsh signs on as a partner institution to offer courses at Macomb Community College?s new University Center in Clinton Township. 1992Four Walsh College women are among the top 100 scorers on the CPA exam in the United States. Eija Roulson, MSPA ?93, earns the highest score on the Michigan CPA exam and the second highest score in the United States. 1993After surveying of students, faculty, community leaders and businesses, Walsh College administrators decide to build a new campus in Novi. More than 500 people attend an open house at the Novi Hilton. 1996Walsh College offers a Master of Science degree in Information Management and Communication in response to changing workplace needs. The College purchases land to build the Novi campus. 1997Walsh College observes its 75th anniversary with business discussions and speakers, a book entitled The History of Walsh College, a dinner, and a Homecoming at the Troy campus coinciding with the day of the first Walsh Institute lecture. Among the 1,400 attendees are Mark Walsh, grandson of Institute founder Mervyn Walsh, Claire Bernacki, the Institute's first librarian, and alumni from the classes of 1939 and 1941. 1998Walsh College launches the MBA program, and twice the anticipated numbers of students enroll. The new Novi campus opens in mid-August with a capacity of 2,200 students. The 35,000-square-foot campus features 14 classrooms, an electronic library, bookstore, student lounge, administrative and faculty offices, and computer labs. 1999Walsh College offers its first online courses, and 436 students take courses electronically.

Head Coach
Basically same thing we saw last gaem.
So after two exhibition games the things that I see.
We have a solid 9 man rotation and all of them are going to play.
I like Conley and Butler on the court together.
Lewis is going to be the main scorer.
Cook is going to be very good.
Hunter is solid, but him and Twig do not present the inside presence we need on D.
As of right now I would say we have great perimeter D, but inside is the problem.
We can beat anyone when we are hot, but much like last year we get a team with a good inside game we are not in a very good situation.
I would say we are a top 15 team right now and when Oden comes back we deserve that #4 ranking.

i missed the frist game, apparently this game had more flow and not as sloopy.
we saw lots of face gaurding and ball denial today.
lots of fronting in the post.
#14 was tall 7ft 4, wow.
cook looked to post up, showed a solid game, gambler on defense. picked up some really ticky tack stuff. needs to fit into the way the game is being officiated. in reality osu was in the bonus before the under 8 to, i believe it was 930 mark to be exact. you can see what the kid has. played 16 minutes and fouled out...
lighty nice spot up shot. played good defense. of the young guns today i was most impressed with his play. all around solid play on both ends of the floor. i believe he had five steals and didnt seem to gamble much off the ball.
conley you can see the kid has something special, hes quick and has good vision. he has things he needs to work on, has a tendency to bounce the ball once maybe twice two often before he makes his decscion. against a bigger quicker team this could spell trouble. didnt show me a great outside or midrange shot. seems to only attack the rim with his left hand no matter what, missed a few layups and bunnies due to refusing to use his proper hand (right hand) on the proper side (right side) of the basket. has a tendency not to get back on defense, and to float off the ball. makes his move left, tends to try to almost avoid going right. hes quick, very quick and runs the floor very well, he had some really great looks. you can see the kid can play. its growing, maturing and adjusting to a little faster game. it seems to be nitpicking, but 1 is very difficult to play and your weaknesses are out there for everyone to play.
hunter long, not as built as i had expected. had some nice moves for what had been described as a very raw player. hell play some five, but projects as a 4. tendency to leave his feet, will be exploited. great shot blocker, but needs to be smarter about when and where to go after the block.
butler shot very well from downtown 5 of 10, by my count he was 0 for 1 inside the arc. played solid, at this point you know what you are going to get out of the kid.
lewis has some highlight reels. still floats on defense, his footwork defensively will be exposed against a better opponent. he can attack the rim no question, his shot looks better.
harris shot was flat. defense looked better, still has to play with more passion and fire.
twig did not play much less than 15 minutes.
quick thoughts
that press was ugly. poorly executed.
outrebounded again, this time by 10.
gave up 15 second chance rebounds.
doubled up in second chance points 16 to 8.
points in the paint were essentially even 34 32 in favor of osu.
points of turnovers were a landslide in osu favor 29 to 9
and i believe osu only gave up one bucket on the break.
the rebounding worries me, some people here dont believe in rebounding, i think nearly all great teams hang their hat on it. the reality is walsh is a fine team, but they dont have the size, skill or athleticism of a wisc, needless to say a uf or unc.
i dont see this as the #4 team in the country. it is ultra early id project outsided the top 15 at best right now. that said it is early. this team is young and needs to take every chance to improve. lots of good things to take away from the game and nearly every player and the team as a whole have obvious weaknesses to work on.
