The MBA faculty members of Auburn University's College of Business excel as instructors and researchers. All faculty members have doctoral degrees, and all are actively involved in research and consulting, keeping at the forefront of their disciplines. Good teaching is taken seriously, and that is reflected in the quality of classroom instruction. By keeping the classes small, professors can take the time to work with the students individually. By making themselves available outside the classroom, the faculty members provide a supportive atmosphere towards learning, while at the same time challenging the students to succeed.
