Kogod is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Kogod offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

In 2016, Bloomberg Businessweek ranked Kogod's Full-time MBA program #43 in the US. U.S. News and World Report ranked Kogod #80 for Best Undergraduate Business Programs, and Princeton Review voted the school #9 for Best Opportunities for Women.

Founded in 1955 as the School of Business Administration, the School was housed in the McKinley Building. In 1979, Robert Kogod, a major real estate developer and president of the Charles E. Smith Companies, made a major donation to rename the school the Robert P. and Arlene R. Kogod College of Business Administration. In 1999, the school moved into its current location, formerly the John Sherman Meyer Building, vacated by the Washington College of Law. The building received a major renovation, and the school changed its name to the Kogod School of Business. In 2009, the school opened a 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) expansion. This addition houses a Financial Services and Information Technology Lab, Behavioral Research Lab, a center for career development, seven additional classrooms, three breakout rooms, and a student lounge.
The Kogod Tax Policy Center was launched in 2011, capitalizing off the school's respected MS in Taxation program. The research center promotes independent research and expands knowledge with respect to tax policy, tax planning and tax compliance for small and mid-size businesses, entrepreneurs and middle income taxpayers. Professor Donald Williamson serves as executive director; Caroline Bruckner is managing director. It is located near the main American University campus.
