There are several reasons to consider AU College of Business Administration including the strength of our brand that comes from being the oldest private university in the UAE, and our range of accredited programs. A pioneer in practical, career-focused training, AU CBA today remains at the forefront of delivering experiential and socially conscious business education in the UAE. We are one of a very small number of higher education institutions in the Arab region providing Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees for internationally competitive programs (specifically Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing. We offer an MBA program with three areas of specialization (Financial Management, Human Resource Management, and Marketing), and in 2019, we launched our Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program. All our programs are accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education. In recognition of our efforts to strengthen our global position, our programs are also accredited by AACSB, the global leader in business school accreditation. Moreover, our undergraduate programs enjoy their own discipline-specific recognition and accreditation. For instance, our Finance program is a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) University Affiliation Program; Our Accounting program is accredited by the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA), Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Australia, and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and our marketing program is accredited by Digital Marketing Institute (DMI). We also have a variety of articulation agreements between our programs and distinguished partners globally including Queen Mary University and University of Nottingham, both in the United Kingdom.

What is however most remarkable about the college is our faculty. AU College of Business Administration professors are highly qualified and professionally experienced. In them, you will find a diverse, engaged and supportive group of individuals who are personally invested in helping students to learn and grow.
