Overview
The AUM College of Business was established as part of Auburn University at Montgomery, which was founded in 1967 as a separate campus of the Auburn University system to serve the growing Montgomery metropolitan area. The college has built a reputation for practical, career-oriented business education, holding AACSB accreditation for its programs, a distinction earned by a relatively small percentage of business schools worldwide. It is best known for its accounting, management, and MBA programs, which draw heavily on the college's proximity to state government, military installations, and a growing corporate presence in Montgomery.
