About
The Lundquist College of Business draws strength from its links to the Pacific Rim and the distinctive qualities of Oregon culture: innovation, sustainability, active lifestyles, and financial stewardship.
The college is accredited through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Roughly 5% of the world's business schools have this accreditation. Additionally, the accounting program is also accredited though AACSB.
The college is housed in the Lillis Business Complex. The college's current dean is Professor Sarah Nutter. Nutter joined the Lundquist College as dean on January 17, 2017.
According to the 2016 US News and World Report rankings of MBA programs, the college is ranked 79th nationally. In 2015, the Princeton Review named the Oregon MBA program first in the United States in the Green MBA category.
The college is home to four centers of excellence (Center for Sustainable Business Practices, James H. Warsaw Sports Marketing Center, Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship, and Cameron Center for Finance and Securities Analysis) that advance an "experiential learning" approach to business education. The Warsaw Sports Marketing Center was the first program of its kind housed within a U.S. college of business. Founded in 1993, the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center provides a platform for both research and education focused on the $500 billion sports business industry. The most recent Sports Business International global rankings of sports master's programs published on June 15, 2015 placed the Oregon MBA's sports business track (coordinated by the Warsaw Center) among the top three programs in the world in the categories of Graduate's Choice as well as Student Satisfaction.
Each year, the college's Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship presents the New Venture Championship, an investment competition for graduate students that draws competitors from all over the world.
The Department of Accounting offers a one-year Masters of Accounting (MAcc) program allowing accounting students to earn enough credits for CPA eligibility in the State of Oregon. In addition, the Beta Alpha Psi Chapter is the second oldest in the nation.
