Dean's Message

1-Joseph

The School of Business at AURAK provides internationally recognized business education enriched by impactful research and outreach from our esteemed faculty. Our mission is to prepare tomorrow's business leaders to be thoughtful, creative, collaborative, and responsible, with critical thinking skills, clear communication abilities, and an initiative to apply what they have learned.

To stay relevant in the ever-changing marketplace, we have consolidated our undergraduate programs into a single Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with multiple majors, including Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Business Analytics, and Hospitality and Tourism Management. Our CAA-accredited graduate programs, the MBA and EMBA, are designed to enhance the career goals of executives. To further our quest for international recognition, we have become accredited members of AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). This membership provides us with a valuable platform to actively engage with a distinguished network of world-class business schools. We perceive this endeavor as an ongoing journey of continual improvement, allowing us to better serve our students and stakeholders.

Furthermore, the School has received exemption accreditation from ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) for the prestigious Chartered Certified Accountant qualification. This accreditation applies to students who have accomplished the BSBA Major in Accounting or the BSBA Major in Finance, further highlighting the exceptional quality of our programs.

Our faculty members are highly qualified and dedicated, bringing their rich professional and research experiences to the classroom. We are committed to engaging with the business community to enhance the marketability of our students, and our new building provides an outstanding learning environment for our students.

As the Dean of the School of Business, I am excited to work with you as you pursue your academic and career goals. I am confident that our institution will provide you with a transformational, student-centered learning experience that will prepare you for success in today's business world.
