The founder of the then Douglas Business College was Warren Douglas. Current owner, Jeffrey D. Imbrescia, has owned the school and has been CEO/President since 1989. Douglas School of Business was incorporated on January 31, 1977 and, thus, became Douglas School of Business, Inc. and began doing business as Douglas Education Center on February 20, 2001.
Over 110 years ago, DEC opened its doors, committed to serving its students and helping them achieve their educational and career goals. Today, generations of students later, that commitment remains DEC’s top priority.
The Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce awards a scholarship annually to a student entering Douglas Education Center, with proceeds from the Melvin B. Bassi Memorial Golf Tournament. For more information on Douglas Education Center, please visit their website at www.dec.edu.
