The Mitchell College of Business is accredited by AACSB, the highest standard for business schools worldwide. Fewer than five percent of business schools in the world share this distinction. In addition, the Mitchell College holds the separate AACSB Accounting Accreditation; fewer than 200 schools in the world share this accreditation.
These accreditations and honors allow the Mitchell College to attract and maintain a highly qualified faculty that creates a dynamic learning environment. In addition to an impressive portfolio of theoretical and applied research, faculty members are also recognized for outstanding classroom teaching. Our instructional approach is student-centered; our faculty interact with students on a one-on-one, first-name basis.

In addition, concentrations are offered in Entrepreneurship, Real Estate, Human Resources, and Sales.

In addition, the Ph.D. in Business Administration in the areas of Business Analytics, Management and Marketing are all designed for individuals in industry desiring to transition to an academic career.

Business education today is more than classroom instruction. The Mitchell College offers numerous active learning opportunities. Our Professional Readiness and Engagement Program (PREP) provides students with opportunities to develop professional skills needed in the workplace and to engage with business leaders on a regular basis. PREP activities include regularly scheduled seminars and workshops led by business professionals, company tours, internships, and career fairs.
In addition, our Melton Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and South Alabama Center for Business Analytics, Real Estate, and Economic Development (SABRE) offer students experience in a wide range of activities. We also offer an array of study-abroad opportunities, including semester-abroad exchanges and short-term international immersion experiences.
