About the Assurance of Learning Program in the Fogelman College

The Fogelman College of Business & Economics is an AACSB accredited institution comprising six departments – School of Accountancy; Business Information and Technology; Economics; Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate; Management; and Marketing and Supply Chain Management with academic programs at all levels including undergraduate, masters, and Ph.D. All of our degree programs provide a learning environment that fosters scholarship, intellectual curiosity, and collegiality with the goal of preparing students for meaningful and responsible participation in a broad range of career opportunities in business, government, and institutional settings, or for advanced professional or graduate education. We are dedicated to helping students acquire the competencies and attitudes for a lifetime of learning as they face the challenges of the future.
