Administration

Michael A. Mazzeo Dean

The School of Business Administration began its history here at OU in 1969 as the School of Economics and Management.

Since that time, more than 15,000 business school alumni have been working at all levels of organizations through Michigan and around the world.

Our students graduate with access to a powerful network of professionals and industry leaders who appreciate the value of an OU business degree.

OU's business school is one of only 178

business schools – out of 13,000 worldwide – to

hold elite accreditation from the Association to

Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-

International for both its business and

accounting programs.

At OU, students find undergraduate and graduate

programs centered on integrating theory, leading-

edge research and real-world experience to give

them a true understanding of how business works,

preparing them for immediate success.

students to graduates who are highly marketable and ready for the professional

world. The program is designed to give students a positive, safe environment

that fosters critical career support throughout all the stages of educational

development.

The ACHIEVE (SBC) curriculum is aimed to prepare students for their future in

the professional world, allowing students to practice with individual coaching

and feedback, and finally gives students the opportunity to perform in a

realistic setting backed by guidance and support.

The three, required zero-credit classes are completed by all SBA students. Fully

ACHIEVE their competitive advantage.

vibrant network for businesses, community
