Freeman School of Business

Tulane, founded in 1834, is a private nonsectarian university that now has 13,500 students and 950 full-time faculty members in its eleven schools and colleges. Tulane ranks among the top twenty-five private research institutions in the nation. The Freeman School, established in 1914, is a founding member of AACSB International–The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, and one of eight to maintain a graduate business program. A global leadership program that takes Tulane MBA's to study on three continents, and a applied management series that puts MBA's on local business plans is focused on the career needs of the future executive. Graduate programs in accounting and finance and a world-class Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree set Freeman apart as a center for business education. The MBA features two experiential series - one focused on the world through study and excursions to Mexico, France, and China. The second focused on hands-on business through working with real companies and consulting opportunities. Core courses are packed into dynamic seven-week sessions. This core delivers the theoretical foundation in all functional areas, while students learn to analyze problems, develop solutions, and implement plans. The 60-credit-hour M.B.A. curriculum includes electives in the first year to strengthen career focus and depth of knowledge prior to the summer internship. In the second year, students select electives, many offered in 1.5-credit, seven-week sessions. The one year Master of Accounting (M.Acct.) program features a CPA-focused series and an opportunity for a busy season internship. The one year Master of Finance (M.Fin.) program is designed for students with a strong quantitative background. Augmenting the graduate curriculum are Freeman's interactive career-planning and development modules and a speaker series on business—monthly events that bring together the entire business school community. A notebook computer is required. Summer-abroad programs offer studies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Tulane offers three joint-degree programs in the areas of law, health systems management, medicine, and Latin American studies. The evening professional M.B.A. program may be completed in three calendar years. The Ph.D. program offers concentrated study in accounting, finance, or organizational behavior.
