How did your company begin?

In 1962, A.O. Sullivan and his son, A.R. Sullivan, recognized the need for an institution of higher education that would be devoted to the highest ideals and standards in preparing people for successful careers.  They founded Sullivan Business College, a one-year school of business to meet that need.  Since that time, Sullivan has grown both in size and sophistication and now carries the name Sullivan University.
