Missouri State University

The College of Business (COB) is one of the largest business programs in the Midwest, enrolling more than 4,800 undergraduate and graduate students. A wide variety of academic programs are available including 27 undergraduate degree options, six graduate programs, and 28 undergraduate and graduate certificate programs that prepare students to enter the business world and advance in their careers. The college’s business unit is comprised of five departments: Finance, Economics and Risk Management; Information Technology and Cybersecurity; Management; Marketing; and the School of Accountancy, as well as two separately accredited departments: Merchandising and Fashion Design, and Technology and Construction Management. COB holds the prestigious full accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for all programs within the business unit. The School of Accountancy also holds supplemental AACSB accounting accreditation. A $35 million dollar renovation and expansion project of David D. Glass Hall, home to COB, was completed in 2017. The building exceeds 200,000 square feet. Spaces include experiential learning labs, team study spaces, interview rooms, two outdoor terraces, and enhanced classroom space. While COB faculty are actively engaged in research, classroom instruction and experiential learning for students is paramount. Full-time faculty members or instructional practitioners within the local business community teach all COB courses. No graduate students teach business courses. Beyond the classroom, students are supported with study away experiences, regional and national competitions, student and professional organizations, free tutoring and dedicated onsite advisement and career centers.
