High-level business professionals serving on our Executive Advisory Board have guided us in establishing a vibrant and supportive learning environment with cutting-edge curricula that has enhanced our reputation and the employability of our graduates. Our faculty experts research a broad range of topics that provide insights into new ways of thinking and learning for business and society. Our faculty and professional staff’s skills, knowledge and commitment combine to enrich the student learning experience.

The College is recognized around the world because of our accreditation from °®Âþµº International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (°®Âþµº) - the premier accrediting body for business programs.  It is a testament to the College’s excellence and its commitment to continuous improvement. In the year 2000, CBE was the first College of Business in the region to achieve °®Âþµº accreditation. Today, we are the only business unit in the Middle East, and one of only 190 institutions in the world, to hold both business and accounting accreditation. Less than five percent of business programs globally are accredited by °®Âþµº. 

The CBE educates more than 1,500 students annually across  five undergraduate degree programs in Accounting, Finance & Banking, Business Administration, Economics and Statistics and Data Analytics, three master’s programs, and a Doctorate program in Business Administration, in addition to a minor in Entrepreneurship, all academically driven by faculty members from five interdisciplinary departments.

We continually strive to improve our teaching and educational experiences for our students (both in the classroom and beyond) in order to provide:

• Encouraging guidance from expert faculty
• Instruction with a global consideration
• Leadership and managerial training from group work and participation in organizations and clubs
• Practical learning through invited speakers, field trips, projects, study abroad programs and internships
• Professional support and career development
