About the Faculty of Business

The Faculty of Business at the University of New Brunswick is recognized for its innovative programs, quality education and consistency in producing future business leaders.

More than a number

We are a small, friendly and dedicated faculty with a mission to enhance our students’ understanding of the world in which they live and work. Our students are more than just a number. We know them by name and provide unique opportunities for their career development.

Our students learn to make a significant difference in their community. They present papers at conferences, serve on the Saint John Board of Trade and interact with some of the most experienced business people in our city and province.

Learn from the experts

We are a faculty of subject matter experts. In the Faculty of Business, learn small business strategy from an entrepreneur, finance and business law from a lawyer/chartered accountant. Be challenged to incorporate new technologies into your assignments by an information and communications technology expert.

We are committed to pursuing applied research that meets the needs of local industry and New Brunswick’s development efforts. We’re directly engaged with the Saint John community — and beyond.

AACSB accreditation

The Faculty of Business has been a member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) since 2014 and is currently in the process of seeking accreditation of its undergraduate and graduate programs by AACSB. Accreditation by AACSB is the hallmark of excellence in business education that has been earned by a very small proportion of the world’s business programs.

In February 2018, the Initial Accreditation Committee (IAC) of the AACSB accepted the Faculty's Initial Self Evaluation Report (ISER). Acceptance of the ISER is a turning point in the process leading to initial accreditation by AACSB. The faculty has up to five years to complete the process, but aims to achieve accreditation by 2020.
