Accreditation

The College of Business undergraduate and graduate business programs are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate School of Business (AACSB) International.

Mission

The mission of East Carolina University’s College of Business (COB) is to provide an engaging learning environment to the leaders of today and tomorrow while expanding business knowledge and serving our communities. The foundation of our mission is the integration of four critical elements: Think, Value, Communicate, Lead.

Master’s Programs in Business

The master of business administration (MBA) and master of science in accounting (MSA) degree programs are open to students with baccalaureate degrees from institutions accredited by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) agency who present evidence of their ability to pursue graduate study. Both the MBA and the MSA degree programs are structured for students with baccalaureate degrees in non-business as well as business fields.

The decision is based on a combination of factors including but not limited to successful completion of the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and cumulative undergraduate GPA.

Students processing a degree or diploma from an institution which does not use English as the language of instruction are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 20 on each section and a minimum total score of 80 for the Internet based exam, or a minimum score of 550 on the paper based exam, or a minimum score of 213 on the computer based exam is required.

A maximum of 9 semester hours (s.h.) of MBA or MSA requirements may be transferred from another AACSB accredited graduate business program or an equivalent international graduate business program with the approval of the director of graduate programs and the dean of the Graduate School.

The foundation courses in the MBA program and business core and accounting evaluation courses in the MSA program are not included in the six year time limit for degree completion.
