Why Choose UMSL Business?

The UMSL College of Business Administration is accredited by the world’s premier business school accrediting organization, the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), in both business and accounting. Less than two percent of business schools worldwide have achieved this dual accreditation. The Princeton Review ranks us in the top three percent of business schools in the nation and U.S. News and World Report continues to rank our international business program among America’s top 25 – for 16 years running. Our university is ranked by Military Times among the top 25 “Best for Vets” programs. And, the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have designated our cybersecurity program as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CD), making UMSL one of only two institutions in Missouri with this designation.

UMSL Business: Always Growing

For more than 50 years UMSL Business has educated the business professionals of St. Louis and the Midwest. UMSL graduates make up more of the St. Louis workforce than those of any other university, and we are the only university in the nation with a Fortune 25 corporation headquartered on its campus.
