Welcome to the Lubar College of Business
A Message from the Dean
We’re delighted that you’re visiting the Lubar College of Business website to learn more about the outstanding programs, services, research, and people at Lubar!
As we continue to witness, the world is an increasingly complex place, and the business environments in which we work are equally complex and challenging.
But they are also abundantly ripe with opportunity.
At the Lubar College we know that — in order to seize on that opportunity — it will take analytical minds and creative ideas.
That is why our focus is on Leading Through Analytics and Innovation.
In all facets of what we do — classroom instruction, academic and applied research, executive education, and corporate knowledge partnerships — we are working to bring the “left brain” and the “right brain” together to solve challenges and capture new possibilities.
We hope that as you explore the Lubar College, you’ll see the great work we are doing, the impact it has on individuals, companies, and the economy, and the exciting future we envision.

AACSB Accredited since 1970
The Lubar College of Business has been continuously accredited by AACSB International for more than 50 years, and holds accreditation both in business and accounting. This distinction places the Lubar College among an elite group of business schools worldwide – with less than 5% of the world’s business programs accredited by AACSB. Only 901 institutions across more than 58 countries hold AACSB accreditation, and just 21% of those have earned additional accreditation for their accounting programs.
Why is this important? Because business schools accredited by AACSB International are considered to be the best business schools in the world, with tougher quality standards for programs and faculty, better students with higher overall GPAs, more employers that recruit from them, and graduates that receive higher salaries.
Students, Parents and Employers: Visit the AACSB website to learn how AACSB business schools and our graduates stand out.
