The School of Business Administration (SBA) offers graduate and undergraduate programs that merge the teaching talent of dedicated professionals and experienced business leaders with the latest technologies and applications. Students in the SBA are encouraged to reach out to the business community and become a part of it through internships, partnerships and student organizations. The SBA is one of fewer than 178 institutions worldwide (less than 5%) to have both business and accounting accreditation from AACSB International, the premier business school accreditation agency. Recently, the SBA earned a spot on Princeton Review’s Top Business Schools in the country for 2016. The school encourages high quality research in top-level journals, while maintaining standards of excellence in teaching.
