It\u00a0is truly a testament to the hard work of our Executive Advisory Board and the quality of students,\u00a0faculty and staff in the College of Business,\u201d said Dr. Shawn Mauldin, dean of the Nicholls\u00a0College of Business Administration. \u201cThe message is clear \u2014 you can receive a top-notch business\u00a0education at Nicholls State University.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Offering six undergraduate and two graduate degree programs, the College of Business\u00a0Administration is among the most popular areas of academic study at Nicholls. Student enrollment\u00a0in the Nicholls business program has grown 7.5 percent since spring 2014. In addition to traditional\u00a0degree offerings, the College of Business has added an online degree in business administration,\u00a0which has attracted more than 90 students in its first year. Nicholls also continues to see growth\u00a0in its Executive Master of Business Administration program and its unique maritime management\u00a0concentration, which is the only program in the state designed to specifically address the needs of\u00a0the oil and gas sector of the maritime industry. AACSB accreditation, which Nicholls has held since\u00a01983, confirms that the university is delivering accredited degree programs that prepare students for\u00a0careers regionally and globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that the Nicholls business and accounting programs each received reaccreditation without\u00a0recommendations for improvement is evidence of our dedicated business faculty\u2019s commitment to\u00a0excellence,\u201d said Dr. Bruce Murphy, president of Nicholls. \u201cThanks to their efforts, our business\u00a0graduates receive the highest quality education and prove it by consistently setting the benchmark as\u00a0leaders and visionaries in the competitive business and accounting fields.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Nicholls College of Business Administration, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/business\">www.nicholls.edu\/business<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIBODAUX \u2014 The College of Business Administration and accounting program at Nicholls\u00a0State University have undergone a successful accreditation review and received an extension of\u00a0accreditation by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB).\u00a0AACSB accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in business education and has been earned by less\u00a0than five percent of the world\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
