Of more than 800 universities in the United States offering
graduate degrees in business, approximately 280 are accredited by the American Assembly of
Collegiate Schools of Business. Our graduate program, accredited in 1974, was the second
of the nine graduate business programs accredited in North Carolina. We are one of
approximately 110 graduate business schools that belong to the Graduate Management
Admissions Council.
We are committed to quality teaching. A blend of teaching
mediums, including lectures, discussions, computer simulations, team projects, cases, and
independent research, is used to develop technical competence, critical thinking, and
human relations skills. You will receive personalized attention from experienced
professors, not teaching assistants. Average class size is twenty-six.
Faculty backgrounds are diverse and cosmopolitan and include
extensive business, consulting, teaching, and research experience. Our faculty hold
graduate degrees from nationally ranked universities such as Duke, Georgetown, Harvard,
Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, Wharton, Arizona State, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas,
Texas A&M;, and Wisconsin.
Approximately on-half of our MBA's work full time for major
organizations. You will be in class and work with practicing managers on projects that
will enhance your learning and networking opportunities. Eastern North Carolina is home to
scores of major corporations, including Burroughs Wellcome, Centura Bank, DuPont,
Firestone, Frigidaire, Proctor & Gamble, Sara Lee, and TRW. You will have the
opportunity to study with international MBA students and with students in our master of
science in accounting (MSA) program.
