Business school

Business school

A business school is a university-level institution that confers degrees in business administration or management. A business school may also be referred to as school of management, management school, school of business administration, or colloquially b-school or biz school. A business school teaches topics such as accounting, administration, business analytics, strategy, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, human resource management, management science, management information systems, international business, logistics, marketing, sales, operations management, organizational psychology, organizational behavior, public relations, research methods, real estate, and supply chain management among others.

Bachelor's degree

Bachelor's degree

A bachelor's degree or baccalaureate is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years. The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science. In some institutions and educational systems, certain bachelor's degrees can only be taken as graduate or postgraduate educations after a first degree has been completed, although more commonly the successful completion of a bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for further courses such as a master's or a doctorate.

Master's degree

Master's degree

A master's degree is a postgraduate academic degree awarded by universities or colleges upon completion of a course of study demonstrating mastery or a high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice. A master's degree normally requires previous study at the bachelor's level, either as a separate degree or as part of an integrated course. Within the area studied, master's graduates are expected to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation, or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently.

Business administration

Business administration

Business administration, also known as business management, is the administration of a commercial enterprise. It includes all aspects of overseeing and supervising the business operations of an organization. From the point of view of management and leadership, it also covers fields that include office building administration, accounting, finance, designing, development, quality assurance, data analysis, sales, project management, information-technology management, research and development, and marketing.

Information technology

Information technology

Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to create, process, store, retrieve and exchange all kinds of data and information. IT forms part of information and communications technology (ICT). An information technology system is generally an information system, a communications system, or, more specifically speaking, a computer system — including all hardware, software, and peripheral equipment — operated by a limited group of IT users.

History

The Forbes School of Business, originally created by Michael K. Clifford, was formed in 2013 after Ashford University announced an alliance with Forbes Media.[2] Under the terms of the alliance, Ashford's College of Business & Professional studies was renamed as the Forbes School of Business.[3] Students of the college gained free premium access to Forbes online content and Ashford's Distinguished Lecturer Series, where Steve Forbes and MBA Program Chair Diane Hamilton made frequent appearances.[4] The school, since its inception, had a goal towards "retaining the strong brand recognition that comes with the Forbes name, while maintaining a clear and direct connection under Ashford University."[5] The school has never received official endorsements from Forbes directly.

In 2016, the school changed its name from the Forbes School of Business to the Forbes School of Business & Technology, offering internet technology degrees.[6] A year later, the Forbes School of Business & Technology received a special accreditation from the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE) to offer accounting degrees.[7] The same year, the Forbes School of Business & Technology would name the biomedical company Nano LiquiTec as having the "Best Business Idea [for] 2017."[8]

The Forbes School of Business & Technology announced in April 2019 that it would offer new Bachelor's programs in cyber security and mobile app technology.[9] These technology degree programs are the only Bachelor and Master of Science offerings in the entire school. To date, the school offers 31 degree programs.

In late 2019, the school announced that the book Cracking the Curiosity Code, written by former MBA Program Chair Diane Hamilton, would be adopted across the school's Master of Human Resources (MAHR) curriculum. Hamilton's assessment called the 'Curiosity Code Index' was also implemented in the MAHR curriculum, which measured traits which impacted curiosity. Katy Thiry, the school's HR Program Chair justified the implementations, writing "Dr. Hamilton's work can add value to students by supporting the development of marketable skills which lead to long-term career success."[10] FBST Curriculum Developer Chitra Anand also made her book, The Greenhouse Approach: Cultivating Intrapreneurship in Companies and Organizations, required reading throughout the school's MBA program.[11]
