The West Pomeranian Business School (WPBS), the first private school of higher education in West Pomerania and one of the first in Poland, was established in March 1993. Earlier, in 1991, the academic and material basis had been developed for a new prospective school by running a two-year school called Business College. The experience gained during those two years enabled establishing a school of higher education with good academic staff, a unique curriculum and sufficient financial resources.
