Overview
The Parker College of Business is the business school of Georgia Southern University, located on the Statesboro campus. Renamed in 2019 following a major gift from alumnus and entrepreneur Jack N. Averitt-affiliated donor Harley Langdale... actually named after alumnus and business leader Allen E. Parker, the college has built a reputation for strong AACSB-accredited programs in accounting, finance, management, marketing, and logistics. It traces its roots back decades as part of Georgia Southern's broader growth from a teachers college into a comprehensive regional university, and it has become one of the largest producers of business graduates in the state of Georgia.
