“The business school at North Carolina A&T State University holds the distinction of being accredited by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International,” College Consensus said. “This accreditation gives students confidence that the Deese College of Business and Economics is delivering the highest level of business education.”

N.C. A&T offers its MBA program through the Willie A.

The latter three are also offered via the university’s online MBA program. All courses are taught by extensively experienced, faculty and business executives who bring a wealth of current industry knowledge and expertise to students.

“I am very pleased that our online MBA program has been ranked No. 3 again this year in the Best Online MBA Programs in North Carolina for 2019,” said Dr. Eric Gladney, COBE associate dean and MBA director. “Each year we seek to build a class of students who can engage collaboratively as a community of learners towards excellence in research, scholarship, creative expression and community engagement. We are very proud of our students' accomplishments and remain committed to structuring and offering a professional graduate business degree that provides them with a thorough understanding of the core business essentials followed by an intensive study in their chosen business concentration.”

College Consensus ranked N.C. A&T’s online MBA program among the best in the nation in its 25 Best Value Online MBA Programs 2019 list. The university also was ranked in the College Consensus 25 Most Affordable Online MBA Programs 2019 list.
