Life at Freeman

The A. B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University was founded in 1914 by a group of New Orleans business leaders who believed that the future growth and prosperity of the city depended upon the establishment of a world-class university-based school of business. Since then, Freeman has grown to become a leading, internationally recognized business school with more than 1,800 students in programs spanning three continents. The Freeman School is consistently listed among the nation’s best business schools by publications including U.S. News & World Report, BusinessWeek, Forbes, London’s Financial Times and Latin America’s AméricaEconomía.

Housed in a state-of-the-art complex including the recently built Goldring/Woldenberg Hall II, the Freeman School boasts an outstanding faculty noted for scholarship and teaching excellence in finance, entrepreneurship, strategic management, consumer behavior, international business, and accounting and taxation. Through innovative offerings such as the nationally acclaimed Burkenroad Reports equities research program, the Darwin Fenner Student Managed Fund, the Tulane Business Plan Competition, the IDEAcorp consulting program and the Global MBA, Freeman combines rigorous academic grounding with practical real-world experience.

The only nationally ranked business school in the Gulf South, Freeman offers programs including Bachelor of Science in Management, Master of Business Administration, Executive MBA, Professional MBA, Master of Accounting, Master of Finance, Master of Management, Master of Global Management and Doctor of Philosophy. The Freeman School also offers Executive MBA, Professional MBA and Master of Finance programs at its satellite campus in Houston, and Executive MBA and faculty development PhD programs with partner institutions in countries including Chile, China, Colombia, Mexico, Taiwan and Venezuela.
