The diversity of the student body at Robinson makes it a great place to acquire a business degree...the business world is vastly diverse, so where else get a head-start but at the Robinson College of Business?"

Excellence at J. Mack Robinson College of Business
Ani Baghdasaryan
"Diversity and location set the Robinson College of Business apart from other schools. The school is in the heart of Atlanta, which gives students a unique experience of city life. In addition, employers are easily accessible to the school. The downtown location provides students countless opportunities to network with and learn about different firms. The diverse background of the faculty and students at Robinson is invaluable to the school. The diversity of students who have different points of view and cultural backgrounds adds to the unique experience at Robinson. The School of Accountancy has been especially helpful in preparing me for the real world and giving me opportunities to find the perfect job right after college."

Excellence at J. Mack Robinson College of Business
Jonathan Lee
"I chose the Robinson College of Business because of two essential factors: location and cost. Because I was leaving my full-time career to move back home to Atlanta and obtain my master's in Accountancy, I was looking for a venerable program that offered proximity to my home while preparing me sufficiently to pass the CPA exam.

I am thoroughly enjoying my experience at Robinson...challenging coursework, career-focus and quality teaching prevail. Robinson's location in the heart of Atlanta sets it apart from other business schools, as the graduate program caters well to part-time professional students."
