About Fogelman College of Business and Economics (FCBE)
Why FCBE Stands Out
Located in one of the nation's most dynamic commercial hubs, the Fogelman College of Business and Economics (FCBE) integrates Memphis's thriving business ecosystem directly into the academic experience. Home to numerous Fortune 500 companies such as FedEx, AutoZone and International Paper, Memphis serves as an extended classroom where students engage with the business community through applied coursework, real-world projects and competitive internships. These experiences ensure graduates leave FCBE with practical knowledge aligned to today's business challenges and strong career preparation.
Accredited
Fogelman College of Business and Economics (FCBE) is accredited by the AACSB – the gold standard in business schools achievement, an honor earned by less than 6% of business schools world-wide.
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Research Laboratories
FCBE offers advanced, industry-aligned facilities that support experiential learning and applied research. The Cook Analytics and Trading Lab is a sophisticated financial technology center modeled after a Wall Street trading firm. Using professional-grade analytics tools and real-time data, students develop skills in financial analysis, trading strategies and data-driven decision-making within a controlled academic environment.
FCBE is also home to the Customer NeuroInsights Research Lab (C-NRL), a nationally distinctive behavioral research and teaching facility established in 2013. C-NRL advances education and research in consumer behavior and decision science using technologies such as EEG, eye tracking, automated facial expression recognition, galvanic skin response, pupilometry, heart rate and heart rate variability and implicit testing. These resources position FCBE at the forefront of consumer neuroscience and applied market research.
Career Preparation and Professional Development
By combining rigorous academics, advanced facilities and deep engagement with the Memphis business community, FCBE produces graduates who are highly marketable and professionally prepared. Career readiness is further strengthened through the Avron B. Fogelman Center for Professional Career Development, which connects academic learning with real-world expectations and emphasizes professional development.
The Center provides career coaching, professional skill development, experiential learning and employer engagement to help students explore career paths, build workplace-ready competencies and transition successfully from college to career. Together, these efforts create a consistent pipeline of confident graduates prepared to compete locally, nationally and globally.
