A Best Business School

—U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review

The Black School of Business is the only business school in the region accredited by AACSB International, the premier accrediting agency for management education. You’ll also find us listed among America’s Best Business Schools and the Best 300 Business Schools in the country.

Black School of Business students benefit from all the resources of a global research institution while enjoying all the advantages of learning in a smaller, multidisciplinary setting. We educate in a high-tech academic environment, the Jack Burke Research and Economic Development Center, and offer unique learning opportunities made possible by a $20 million endowment from the late insurance executive Samuel P. Black Jr. and his wife, Irene.
