With exceptional scholars at the core of our Program, providing current MBA students with the resources necessary to excel both within the Auburn MBA Program and beyond is a top priority of the University. From the point of entry to career placement, student support from a holistic perspective is job one of the entire MBA Staff.
All Auburn MBA Program professors at Auburn University hold a Ph.D. but have very diverse backgrounds. MBA faculty are active not only as teachers, but also as researchers and private consultants working on the cutting edge of their respective disciplines.
Small class sizes and limited class loads ensure that MBA professors are readily accessible to students outside of the classroom. The goal of Auburn MBA faculty is to provide a supportive atmosphere in which students are challenged to succeed.
