There are many ways to prepare for a successful business career, and we draw from all of them as we educate the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Our nationally
recognized and respected programs benefit from
quality teaching as well as
immersive learning experiences—including
internships and
other opportunities to interact with and solve the problems of real-world businesses. We provide students with
top-notch facilities, support
numerous student organizations that broaden the learning experience, and maintain
advisory boards that offer curriculum input and student connections with the business community.
Accreditation We are accredited by
AACSB International–the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB is the premier professional accrediting body for schools of business. Only the top 15 percent of the world’s business schools earn AACSB accreditation, which requires strict adherence to rigorous standards of excellence.
The Miller Name When successful businessman Wallace T. Miller Jr. died unexpectedly in 1998, his gift to Ball State University’s College of Business was the largest single private gift from an individual in the history of the university. Through his generosity, Wally Miller created a legacy for future generations of Ball State business students, and the college now bears his name.
