About the School
Our undergraduate and graduate programs support our school's mission and prepare socially responsible students for opportunities in the borderless business world. With dual accreditation in business and accounting by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB), our programs cover the essential business disciplines while teaching students the local, national and international implications of managing and operating a business in the global arena.
With the strength and diversity of our Board of Governors who represent the business community, the School of Business is closely aligned with the Charleston region including the leaders in the greater Charleston hospitality and tourism industry and the Charleston Port.
The School of Business enjoys the advantages of the beautiful downtown Charleston. The city of Charleston is ranked as the No. 1 travel destination in North America by Conde Nast Traveler magazine's readers. In addition, it is ranked as No. 3 city worldwide, just behind Sydney, Australia and Florence, Italy.
The campus community is steeped in history and tradition, while offering students insight into the dynamic, global business environment. Read more about the College in the online flipbook - The College of Charleston's 2010-2011 Fact Book.

Each "smart" classroom in the Beatty Center is fully equipped with technology stations and instructor tools to enhance the learning experience. Classes are small, and professors know their students on a first-name basis. As the school continues investing in its facilities and capabilities, students will apply the latest technology in new ways to be better thinkers and problem solvers.
