Richard Evelyn Byrd College of Business
Since its founding in 1961, the Byrd Business College has made its home nestled at the base of University Peak on the AU campus. The school offers students access to technology resources as well as provides a relaxing, comfortable learning environment. In the new state-of-the-art building, students are able to plug in their laptop computers and take notes, or explore vast areas of information on the Internet.
The continuous quality improvement philosophy behind the AU accreditation process is extremely valuable and is taken very seriously in our business school. It ensures quality in faculty, students, curriculum and auxiliary programs, as it critically examines the "Value-added" to students who attend our school.
Thanks to our many partnerships with corporate giants such as Sony VAIO, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Dell, not to mention General Motors Cadillac Division, we continue to be at the leading edge of development of online programs generated through a mixture of technology and multi-media devices.
Our Campus students utilize Lason Hall's presentation and computer training equipment, while our off-campus online students make approaches to video conferencing. All of the rooms in the Byrd facilities are well-appointed and spacious, well-lit and comfortable, which enables lecturing and learning to be comfortable as well as professional.Business students are required to follow one of the following courses of study, as offered by their chosen department of specialization:
