Emory University's Goizueta Business School (also known as Goizueta Business School, Emory Business School, or simply Goizueta – pronounced goy-swet-ah) is the private business school of Emory University located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It is named after Roberto C. Goizueta, former president of The Coca-Cola Company.
On February 18, 1919, the dean of Emory College, Howard Odum, recommended the creation of a "school of economics and business administration" to the Board of Trustees. Thus, in the fall of 1919, the new school worked with Emory College to offer courses in economics, accounting, and business law. By 1925, there was one faculty member and full-time assistant, five staff members and 145 students. In 1926, eight students received the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Two decades after the school awarded degrees in business administration, the school accepted its first female student in 1954. In the same year, the MBA program commenced, with 19 registered students.
In 1992, the evening MBA program was introduced. When the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business began accrediting master’s programs, Emory’s program was one of the first to be approved. Four years later, Emory appeared on the list of the top American colleges and universities producing U.S. executives. This newfound position accompanied new programs, such as the concentration within the MBA program for professional accounting and, in 1979, the Executive MBA program. Also at this time, the school created a plan to allow students to complete both the MBA and Juris Doctor degree within four years. Rankings of the school’s programs highlight the results: in 1986, the Executive MBA program was ranked in the top 15 in a Business Week survey.
In 1994, the school was renamed for Roberto C. Goizueta, the CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. The millennium brought about a new PhD program in business administration and a new program in Real Estate. The school installed its current dean, Professor Erika James, in 2014.
The BBA program is designed for students who have spent at least a year at Emory or Oxford College. As it is a two-year program, most students apply to enter Goizueta in their junior year, though students may enter in the spring semester of their sophomore year if they have achieved junior standing. Students are required to have completed at least 60 credit hours of course work and to have completed a series of prerequisite courses, including Financial Accounting and Economics, to be considered for admission. The BBA office will take into account a student’s performance in business prerequisite courses, campus involvement, internship experiences, and strong letters of recommendation when determining acceptance. The BBA class of 2011 averaged a 1371 on their SATs and a 3.6 GPA.
