American University — Kogod School of Business
The Kogod School of Business at American University is a leading AACSB-accredited business school located in Washington, DC. Established as part of American University — which was founded by an Act of Congress in 1892 — Kogod offers undergraduate BS degrees, MBA, and specialized master's programmes that leverage the school's unique position in the US capital. Students gain unparalleled access to federal agencies, international organisations, think tanks, and Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the DC area.
Kogod's academic portfolio spans Accounting, Finance, Business Analytics & AI, Marketing, Sustainability Management, and International Relations and Business. Multiple programmes carry STEM designation — including the MBA, MS in Business Analytics & AI, MS in Accounting, and MS in Sustainability Management — enabling international graduates to apply for a 24-month OPT STEM extension and broaden their US work experience after graduation.
The school emphasises hands-on learning through real-client projects, a 19:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and small cohort sizes of 15–20 students per programme. A signature Global Consulting Project takes MBA and MS students abroad for immersive international business experiences. Kogod also integrates sustainability and DEI principles across its core curriculum, reflecting American University's status as the first US university to achieve carbon-neutral certification (2018).
