University of West Georgia
At the University of West Georgia, our commitment to educational excellence in a personal environment guides everything we do, and has led to numerous recognitions. UWG is identified by The Princeton Review as one of The Best Southeastern Colleges. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recognized UWG as being #1 among metro Atlanta institutions in terms of coverage of classes with full-time faculty and administrators. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools recently reaffirmed UWG's accreditation and gave the University a rare commendation for technology resources, equipment and support, which a SACS accreditation visiting team called "far above that of similar institutions."
The Richards College of Business (RCOB) was endowed with a gift from the Richards family to support continued excellence in education, which has been instrumental in RCOB faculty achievement. Our academic business programs at both the graduate and undergraduate levels maintain the highest level of excellence with their accreditation by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a distinction achieved by fewer than fifteen percent of business schools worldwide. In addition, the RCOB is one of only approximately four percent of schools with separate AACSB accreditation for our accounting program.
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the RCOB ranks 4th in area business schools by enrollment. RCOB faculty are recognized as among leading teachers and researchers in the country. Recent awards include recognition by the Decision Sciences Institute for one of the three most innovative courses in the United States and induction of faculty into Academic Who's Who. RCOB faculty have been named Academy of Economics and Finance Teaching Fellow and Georgia Business Education Teacher of the Year. Other faculty have received national awards for research and been quoted in the Wall Street Journal.
