About the Lundquist College of Business

Overview

Learning by Doing

Since 1914 the Charles H. Lundquist College of Business has taught its students the critical skills they need to think for themselves, to be leaders in a dynamic world, and to make better decisions on behalf of the people and resources they manage.

We are a top business school with a unique mission and vision that draws strength from our links to the Pacific Rim and the distinctive qualities of Oregon culture: innovation, sustainability, active lifestyles, financial stewardship, and respect for individuality and diversity within an increasingly global community.

Learning by Doing

At the heart of our vision and mission are our four centers of excellence, each highlighting our distinctive qualities and themes. These centers advance a "learning by doing" approach to business education (we call it experiential education), in which students work on real projects for real companies, gaining first-hand experience in their careers before they even graduate.

Departments and Programs

Our centers of excellence help you target your business education to specific areas. But it's our departments that provide the foundation of your Lundquist education. Whether it's an undergraduate degree, MBA, Executive MBA, Master of Science in Sports Product Management, Master of Accounting, Master of Science in Finance, or PhD, our School of Accounting and departments in finance, management, marketing, and operations and business analytics deliver the disciplinary fundamentals for success and the research excellence that advances business knowledge. Through this distinct approach to education, students graduate from the Lundquist College with an education that meets their personal needs, interests, and ambitions, preparing them to be among the most knowledgeable and motivated business leaders of tomorrow.

Mission and Vision

Vision

The Lundquist College of Business will be internationally renowned for excellence in business education and research drawing strength from its links to Pacific Rim neighbors and the distinctive qualities of Oregon culture: innovation, sustainability, active lifestyles, financial stewardship, and respect for individuality and diversity within an increasingly global community.

Mission

The Lundquist College of Business is an integral part of the University of Oregon, a comprehensive public research university committed to innovative teaching, discovery, and service. The college's mission is to:

Provide outstanding undergraduate education that combines a strong foundation in the liberal arts, excellence in traditional business disciplines, and experiential opportunities drawing on the strength of Oregon's distinctive qualities.
Support economic development by offering master’s programs associated with signature centers derived from Oregon’s distinctive qualities, and by providing expert services to the Oregon community and beyond.
Contribute to the advancement of business knowledge through scholarship and doctoral programs in accordance with the research mission of the university.

Accreditation

The Lundquist College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the highest accreditation standard for business schools internationally. The college’s undergraduate program was first accredited in 1923, and its accounting program was accredited in 1989.

Only 800 (6 percent) of the world's 12,600 business schools are AACSB accredited. What's more, because our accounting program is accredited as well as our business school, we belong to a tiny elite of 185 programs—just 1.5 percent of the world's business schools—that have attained this distinction.

96 percent of CEOs with business degrees on the Fortune 500 list attended an AACSB-accredited school.
90 percent of ranked business schools are AACSB accredited.
91 percent of deans report that AACSB accreditation enhances their ability to recruit and retain top faculty.
