Kennesaw State University

At the Coles College of Business, we prepare world-class graduates to lead in today's challenging business environment. We are committed to preparing students to contribute to society as visionary and ethical leaders, globally-connected and engaged in their local communities. Working with business and industry, we develop innovative academic programs that teach students how to solve critical challenges. These students, in turn, provide Georgia's companies with a distinct competitive advantage. One example: BUSA classes that offer professional development coaching (offered through our Center for Student Success). Designed by a team of faculty using feedback directly from area businesses, this program is part of the business curriculum for all undergraduate business students. As part of the program, students partner with a career coach to perfect their professional skills. In the graduate arena, our Executive MBA is a Tier One program in North America and is ranked in CEO Magazine. Additionally, our research-intensive PhD program prepares experienced business professionals for tenure-track positions at AACSB-accredited business schools via a unique format.
