A Message from the Dean

Welcome to Florida Atlantic University College of Business. Founded in 1964, the College of Business is home to nearly 8,000 students, six departments and an impressive offering of interdisciplinary and professional development programs that are nationally accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Our world class faculty has a passion not only for giving students a basic set of business skills, but also for providing an education that will continue to evolve for a lifetime.

Named one of the “Best Business Schools” in 2011 by The Princeton Review and one of America’s “Top 50 Business Schools for Entrepreneurs” by Success magazine, our programs continue to receive national recognition in an ever expanding and changing business environment. The College of Business strives to powerfully impact our business community through nationally recognized academic excellence by focusing on three important areas in today’s business environment which include: Accounting, Entrepreneurship and International Business and others.

We are continually evolving our curriculum and are now offering a 16 month Professional MBA program with an emphasis on entrepreneurship and innovation. In an effort to further open the means of communication between our College and the community as well as become a valuable resource in education, I am proud to announce that we have completed our 16 month comprehensive website redesign project, which debuted on August 22, 2011. I invite you to explore our newly designed website and take the opportunity to become a part of our tradition of growth and excellence.

I would like to express my great appreciation to all members of our community, faculty, staff, students and of course alumni - for their support and many contributions to the College of Business this past year and look forward to achieving greater success in the coming year.
