would strengthen the New Orleans economy and capitalize on its international
ties. Under the leadership of Dean Morton A. Aldrich, the College joined 16
leading business schools in founding The Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB International) and thus set the standards for
business education in the United States. The School has maintained continuous
accreditation since 1916.
In 1984, the A. B. Freeman School of Business was named in honor of Alfred
Bird Freeman, founder of the Louisiana Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Freeman,
a renowned business innovator and civic leader, advocated foreign trade zones
and further development of the port of New Orleans.
Today, the Freeman School continues to meet the needs of the business
community--locally, nationally, and internationally--by educating the leaders of
today and tomorrow through its Bachelor of Science in Management, Master of
Business Administration, Master of Accounting, Master of Finance, and Doctor of
Philosophy in Business Administration degree programs.
The Freeman School is housed in Goldring/Woldenberg Hall I and II, state-of-the-
art complexes offering an outstanding educational environment and professional
support services.

The Turchin Library provides both print and electronic resources in support of the
