Robins School of Business

At the Robins School of Business, we strive to provide our students with the best business education in the world. It may sound like a lofty goal, but it is ever present in our minds and at the heart of everything we do. The Robins School takes a four-pronged approach to business education: blending classroom instruction from teacher-scholars who are experts in their field; creating learning opportunities that extend well beyond the classroom; fostering relationships with leading business and government organizations; and developing a global outlook rooted in integrated coursework with international experiences.

What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

The small class sizes, the quality of professors, and their promise to having professors teach the classes instead of teaching assistants makes this a unique program. We are in direct contact with faculty who have real world experience and connections and genuinely care about their students, and the caliber and work ethic of the students makes learning from your peers an essential part of the classroom experience and fosters thought provoking discussions.
