HISTORY OF THE FACULTY
The Faculty was founded on May 15, 1993 in Реć as the charity foundation of the Karić family. By the decision on foundation made by the Braća Karić Foundation and the Karić Brothers Foundation, the Janićije and Danica Karić Faculty of Trade and Banking was created. The Academy officially began its work on September 22, 1993 in the city of Реć.
IN COURSE OF OVER 20 YEARS OF ITS EXISTENCE, THE FACULTY OF TRADE AND BANKING HAS EVOLVED FROM A SMALL ENTREPRENEURIAL FACULTY CREATED WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND CARE TO A FACULTY WITH MODERN VARIOUS STUDY PLANS AND PROGRAMS.
The history of development of the Faculty may be presented as four stages:
The first lasted from 1993 to 1997, from the moment of founding the Academy to the change of name to the Janićije and Danica Karić Faculty of Trade and Banking. It is important to remember that a group of 60 students from former Soviet countries were studying at the faculty in Реć at the time.
The second stage, the shortest and most difficult of all, defined by external environment factors and complex political and economic conditions in the country, was signified by transfer of the Faculty from Реć to Belgrade. Over the course of a year, the Faculty through great efforts managed to preserve integrity, resources and people who had previously become involved in the idea of the Janićije and Danica Karić Faculty of Trade and Banking.
The third stage of development that started in 1999 and continues to this day has confirmed that the Faculty has management to get through its childhood diseases related to its administration and economics, that after its founding and run-in it has proven itself in the most complicated conditions possible for any organization. Overcoming all emerging difficulties, caused first of all by deep misunderstanding of its entrepreneurial spirit by the domestic environment, the Faculty managed to create a basis for successful growth and development in accordance with modern international trends in the field of higher education. Today, the Faculty of Finance, Banking and Auditing is combined with the Alfa BK University, which allowed students to receive knowledge from highly competent teachers of information technologies, management and foreign languages in addition to economics tutors. Introduction of new teaching methods (remote learning) added new value to the Faculty.
The fourth stage of development of the Faculty will be marked by the years to come. During this period, all values and knowledge that were carefully created and collected during previous will come to the forefront in order to enhance competitive advantages and preserve leading positions in the fields of specialization of the Faculty.
