Overview
The Belk College of Business is the business school of UNC Charlotte, named in honor of the Belk family, founders of the Belk department store chain, following a major naming gift. It has grown alongside Charlotte's emergence as a national banking and financial services hub, developing close ties to major employers like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Truist. The college holds AACSB International accreditation for both its business and accounting programs, placing it among an elite group of business schools worldwide with that dual distinction.
