Information
|
Wright is a Not For Profit, co-educational,
post-secondary institution.
History
Wright Business School, originally known as Dickinson Business School,
was founded in 1921 to train typists for Kansas City businesses. A
secretarial program was added in 1953, and with it a new shorthand
system was developed. By the late nineteen fifties, this system was
widely accepted in the Kansas City area and became known as Dickinson
Shorthand. In the early nineteen seventies the school was purchased by a
Missouri corporation comprised of two local educators.
The school's
educational program was modified to emphasize individualized
instruction. Mr. James Miller, Jr. purchased Dickinson Business School
in 1978 and continued to improve the school's educational programs. By
August, 1982, Dickinson was accredited by the Accrediting Commission of
the Association of Independent Colleges and Schools. Dickinson then
expanded its operation nationwide to include a number of campuses.
In
December 1989, Mr. Miller assumed controlling interest of selected
Dickinson campuses. In June of 1990, the school's name was changed to
Wright Business School. In 1994, Mr. Miller formed Mission Group Kansas
Inc. a Not For Profit Corporation. The Corporation applied for and
received tax exempt status in December 1994. In March 1995 Mission Group
Kansas Inc.acquired Wright Business School, Lenexa, Kansas. In July,
1995, Mission Group Kansas Inc. acquired Wright Business School,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In February 1997 Wright Business School,
Lenexa, Kansas moved its operations to Overland Park, Kansas.
