Since 1977, we have been welcoming students to study with us at the College of Business and Economics. From humble beginnings with only a handful of degree programs, we have grown to become one of the highest internationally ranked Colleges at the University (according to the QS and THE rankings).

CBE
The College’s degree programs are accredited by AACSB International. AACSB members are only AACSB-accredited if they are able to satisfy a wide-ranging, rigorous set of quality standards. As such, the College is able to demonstrate that it provides a relevant, challenging curriculum delivered by faculty of a high caliber, and excellent educational and career opportunities. The graduates we produce are therefore highly skilled and very desirable to employers. We were the first institution in the United Arab Emirates and in the region to be accredited by the AACSB, back in 2000.

The College has 82 full-time faculty members drawn from around the world and more than 2000 undergraduate and postgraduate students working and studying across 5 interdisciplinary academic departments (Makreting and Entrepreneurship, Management, Statistics and Business Analtyics and Economics and Finance). The College also teaches in 2 locations: Al Ain and Abu Dhabi and has a global network of influential alumni.

The College prides itself in supporting the UAE in its commitment to being a knowledge-based economy in which education and research play a critical, central role. While we embody all of the traditional aspects of a university-based business school, we believe that true learning comes from being able to apply the theory you learn in the classroom to the real world of business. Through our valued public and private sector partners, our students can take on a wide variety of internships, placements and projects that support their learning, and provide opportunities and networks that can help change their future.

High-level business professionals serving on our Executive Advisory Board have guided us in establishing a vibrant and supportive learning environment with cutting-edge curricula that has enhanced our reputation and the employability of our graduates. Our faculty experts research a broad range of topics that provide insights into new ways of thinking and learning for business and society. Our faculty and professional staff’s skills, knowledge and commitment combine to enrich the student learning experience.

The College is recognized around the world because of our accreditation from AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) - the premier accrediting body for business programs. It is a testament to the College’s excellence and its commitment to continuous improvement. In the year 2000, CBE was the first College of Business in the region to achieve AACSB accreditation. Today, we are the only business unit in the Middle East, and one of only 190 institutions in the world, to hold both business and accounting accreditation. Less than five percent of business programs globally are accredited by AACSB.

The CBE educates more than 1,500 students annually across five undergraduate degree programs in Accounting, Finance & Banking, Business Administration, Economics and Statistics and Data Analytics, three master’s programs, and a Doctorate program in Business Administration, in addition to a minor in Entrepreneurship, all academically driven by faculty members from five interdisciplinary departments.

We continually strive to improve our teaching and educational experiences for our students (both in the classroom and beyond) in order to provide:

  • Encouraging guidance from expert faculty
  • Instruction with a global consideration
  • Leadership and managerial training from group work and participation in organizations and clubs
