The College of Business is the state’s flagship institution for business, education, research, and outreach.
We offer a range of majors and specializations, with accredited programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels.
The College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
AACSB accreditation is highly sought after by universities due to its high level of academic merit— accreditation has been achieved by only 6% of the institutions teaching management education.
