Hamilton College was originally established by Ward Hamilton in Mason City, Iowa, in 1900 as a business school. This makes it the oldest continuously operating college in the state of Iowa specializing in business education. In 1980, Hamilton opened a campus in Cedar Rapids. A third campus was established in Des Moines in 1988.

In 1998, Hamilton College was purchased by Quest Education Corporation, which was acquired in 2000 by Kaplan, Inc. and renamed Kaplan Higher Education Corporation. Shortly thereafter the Nebraska College of Business and the Lincoln School of Commerce, also owned by Quest, were renamed Hamilton College-Omaha and Hamilton College-Lincoln respectively. Hamilton College continued to expand, adding campuses in Cedar Falls in 2000 and Council Bluffs in 2004.

gollark: So effectively you just have a mildly larger key.
gollark: So you *also* have to store a timestamp or something?
gollark: So it's a random 4-byte string?
gollark: That actually probably *would* put it in the range of practical bruteforceability, since there are only 4 billion possible 4-byte values and anything you're doing by hand can't be *that* slow to run on a computer.
