In addition, AACSB International - the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - has awarded the CBA the highest form of accreditation, a distinction held by less than five percent of all business schools. Most recently, our accounting programs were nationally ranked by the Public Accounting Report.

Our faculty and staff are committed to fostering an environment that emphasizes student engagement and success. This is evident in several ways, including:

Business skills are a necessity in a variety of sectors, including health care, transportation, finance, energy and consumer goods.
