Solving Problems That Matter

The Robinson College of Business is a community of students, educators, and professionals who specialize in discovering insights that drive smarter business decisions.

With a rich history in the city, the Robinson College is located in the center of Atlanta, is a leader with local and global business partners, and supports an alumni network of over 60 000 people that reaches far and wide — from small businesses to global companies. We have strong connections around the globe — and we make sure our students do, too.

Our programs were built to push students beyond the classroom and offer experiences that bridge the gap between business education and the business world. Our internationally recognized faculty are not only experts in their fields but also prolific authors, distinguished researchers, and award-winning leaders.

Robinson Students Stand Out

You’ll find our students serving as consultants for local businesses and providing business plans, market research, and product evaluations. They work side-by-side with business partners to solve real big data problems and offer sound solutions. Our students travel the world learning about businesses that operate globally. They compete for top rankings in case of competitions, hackathons, and entrepreneurship challenges. Our graduates are landing top positions, earning raises and making a name for themselves and Robinson College.

Get Closer to Business

• Financial Leadership Symposia . The semiannual Financial Leadership Symposium is comprised of panels of C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and finance professionals who expose students to best business practices, emerging trends, and the future of business. Moderated by our Executive in Residence, a C-suite executive in two Fortune 500 companies and in a private equity turnaround, past topics of the Symposia include M&A, the future of banking, private equity, FinTech, asset/wealth management, and diversity in finance. Following the panel discussion, students interact with our guests in a networking reception.
