A history of international accreditation

Murray State is home to one of the very few business colleges accredited by the The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB). Only 5% of business schools across the entire world have this international accreditation. Murray State has proudly carried this elite distinction since 1976. We were the second business school in Kentucky to receive this distinguished achievement. Within five years, our master's degree of business administration program was also accredited in 1981. Ever since then, we have maintained these accreditations over the years through every review cycle.

Message from the Dean

Dr. David Eaton - Dean College of Business

Welcome to the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business. Here you will find traditional business disciplines such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, and Computer Information Systems as well as Economics, Journalism and Mass Communications, Organizational Communication and Leadership, and Computer Science.

Though we have a wide variety of disciplines, we share three key characteristics. First, we have faculty who are not only experts in their fields, but have a passion to see you learn, grow, and succeed in your chosen area of study.

Second, we believe in hands on learning. From our new finance classrooms to the Murray State News, to partnering in research and projects with faculty and community businesses, our students have many opportunities to apply outside the classroom what they are learning inside the classroom.

Finally, we are committed to students’ success in careers and community service. We work with the Murray State Career Service office as well as business and government agencies to help our students start their careers. Many of our students participate in internships, community service and outreach activities, and professional activities while at Murray State.

I invite you to explore what the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business has to offer and look forward to seeing you on your journey at Murray State.

Sincerely,

David Eaton
