The Culverhouse College of Business offers students a personal, engaged learning experience backed by a long record of excellence in teaching, research, and service. Our vision is to be internationally recognized as a leader in lifelong learning and a driver of lasting change in our community and global society.
The College offers degree programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels, and have been continuously accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) since 1929—placing us among the less than 6% of business schools worldwide to hold this distinction. In 1981, the Culverhouse School of Accountancy became one of the first 13 programs in the nation to earn separate AACSB accreditation in accounting.
Culverhouse is also home to a number of research and outreach centers that make impacts throughout the region and on campus. Some, such as the Alabama Productivity Center, leverage student talent to assist area businesses, which also turns into a hands-on learning opportunity for participating students.
Located off the west side of UA’s quad, the Culverhouse College of Business campus includes historical and state-of-the-art buildings such as Alston, Bidgood, and Hewson Halls, as well as the Bruno Library and Bashinsky Computer and Collaboration Center.
Culverhouse students can take a deep-dive into society-changing research by participating in the Faculty Scholars program and the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (URCA) Conference.
Complementing the classroom, experiential learning, which can take the form of an internship or work-study experience, improves students’ abilities to critically analyze and evaluate the relationship between academic knowledge and real-world contexts.
Designated spaces for behavioral research, big data, value investing, and more allow Culverhouse students the opportunity to conduct hands-on research aligned with their specific academic and career goals.
The Career Center at Culverhouse serves as a centralized resource for career growth. Internships and opportunities can be explored, resumes receive expert feedback, and mentorship connections are facilitated—all in one location.
Build a professional network and gain access to jobs and outreach activities. Engage with peers through a wide range of transcurricular programs and organizations designed to foster dynamic connections among students and industry professionals.
Culverhouse students can participate in signature events like the Professional Development Conference, Business Analytics Symposium, Edward K. Aldag, Jr. Business Plan Competition, and River Pitch – offering opportunities to build skills, showcase talents, and connect with industry leaders.
A cutting-edge, transformative competency-based program that engages 10,000+ students through professional development courses, events, workshops, technologies, and immersive opportunities so that they can reach their highest potential in the job search, excel as new hires, and bring lasting change to their communities.
