COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS
Overview
Since 1977, we have been welcoming students to study with us at the College of Business
and Economics. From humble beginnings with only a handful of degree programs, we have
grown to become one of the highest internationally ranked Colleges at the University
(according to the QS and THE rankings). The College’s degree programs are accredited
by AACSB International. AACSB members are only AACSB-accredited if they are able to
satisfy a wide-ranging, rigorous set of quality standards. As such, the College is
able to demonstrate that it provides a relevant, challenging curriculum delivered
by faculty of a high caliber, and excellent educational and career opportunities.
The graduates we produce are therefore highly skilled and very desirable to employers.
We were the first institution in the United Arab Emirates and in the region to be
accredited by the AACSB, back in 2000.
