The A.B. Freeman School of Business houses three academic areas (behavioral
science, economic science, legal studies and business) offering undergraduate
majors in accounting, consumer behavior/marketing, finance, legal studies in
business, managing human and social capital, and strategy and entrepreneurship.
In addition to its undergraduate offerings, the Freeman School offers the Master
of Accounting, Master of Business Administration, Master of Finance, and Doctor
of Philosophy degrees. The MBA strategically focuses on the global business
environment and experiential learning. The school's partnerships with schools and
programs in Latin America and Asia continue to expand and build a truly global
MBA program. Experiential learning emphasizes hands-on experience, provided
through such programs as the Burkenroad Reports, the Darwin Fenner Investment
Fund, and practice classes, which involve projects associated with the rebuilding
of New Orleans.
The MBA program develops practical skills within the context of a global
environment. As these initiatives develop, they are extended to the BSM program.
This ensures a truly unique program that is attractive to students and employers
alike. The MBA can be earned through the traditional two-year program, the part-
time Professional MBA program, or the accelerated Executive MBA programs in
several locations worldwide.
